Is .Mac too expensive to re-subscribe?
I think Apple is going to see a bunch of defectors from its overly-pricey .Mac service as we enter the one-year renewal time. And apparently some geeky little dude at the Baltimore Sun agrees. But I won't be one of them. I like having a .Mac email address and have actually taken advantage of some of the service's more useful features, including iDisk-based backup and machine-to-machine iSync. Apple has added value to the service over the past year, with a slew of useful free downloads and new features, too. I've even paid extra for more email and iDisk space, and my account is now set for automatic renewal. In my book, .Mac is .NET for consumers done right. Yeah, it's a bit expensive, but so is everything else Apple makes. You get what you pay for.
