Not that anyone could really dance around the facts of the matter at this point, but in an email to Apple employees sent today, apparently Steve said, "It was a mistake to launch MobileMe
at the same time as iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0 software and the App Store.
We all had more than enough to do, and MobileMe could have been delayed
without consequence." Apple exec Eddie Cue appears to taking the much
maligned service under his wing (as well as the App Store, adding to
his original gig as VP of iTunes), hopefully making good on the other
bit in El Jobso's email where he resets Apple's call to action on
.Mac's replacement: "The MobileMe launch clearly demonstrates that we
have more to learn about Internet services. And learn we will. The
vision of MobileMe is both exciting and ambitious, and we will press on
to make it a service we are all proud of by the end of this year."
We'll see about that!
