MobileMe Service Goes Down for Hours

Apple’s MobileMe cloud applications were down for a couple of hours today. MobileMe is a paid service (it’s $99 per year) offered by Apple that syncs a user’s laptops, desktops, iPhone and more.

The outages started for some users around 1:00 Pacific time. Judging by how many people on Twitter tweeted about it, the outages seem to have been a huge problem. Apple is not responding to requests for comment.

MobileMe grew from Apple’s .Mac service. It has gotten overall positive reviews but has had ongoing problems with outages (Walt Mossberg even called it “far too flawed to be reliable”).

According to Apple’s MobileMe status page, at the time of this writing, MobileMe should be back online .
