Apple have got a brand new service status blog for MobileMe!

Steve Jobs has asked me to write a posting every other day or so to let everyone know what’s happening with MobileMe, and I’m working directly with the MobileMe group to ensure that we keep you really up to date. [MobileMe Status]

This is seriously the best thing Apple could’ve done to get my confidence back. I said earlier that I didn’t know if any managers at Apple knew or cared about the problems, and this status blog really proves they do. And I’ve been reading snippets and rumours around the web about the MobileMe development and support teams taking the outage personally, and the blog really backs that up.

This is a leap in the right direction, and I’m really grateful that Apple are making it easier for me to be passionate about a product I want to see succeed.

Re Apple’s $100 rebate for people who bought an iPhone before the price cut, here’s Steve Jobs’ first ever apology letter.
