2TB iDisk

I don't know what the story is behind this but if Apple is upgrading people I'd say it's a smart move. Call it the "Gmail Rule" which states "You should give people a monstrous amount of storage because it's great PR and 99.9% of people won't come anywhere near using it anyway"

End Result: Happier customers for almost no cost (With storage as cheap as it is the .1% who do use a lot of space will still be relatively cheap to maintain)

I'm sure it's a fluke but it does raise a point: Apple is missing an opportunity to make MobileMe a really strong companion to Macs & iPods. They could build it into a comprehensive online backup/syncing tool. Buy a new Mac or iPhone, plug it in, download your data in the background (stream on demand, tie into Bonjour for first backup if both machines are on the same local network) Considering storage is cheap it seems like a no lose scenario for Apple. Some companies are getting by offering huge amounts of cloud storage for far less than the cost of MobileMe is today.

This is a bug, you occasionally get this on certain types of attached volumes (some large USB drives) and nfs/smb/webdav mounts. Sorry, buddy.

I really want to sign up for Mobile Me, but there's no SSL support for most of the web apps. I'd rather not have all my data transferred in the clear.

Stuck at 20gb so far. Would love to have 2TB!
