MobileMe web interface can't be used on the iPad - Sorry Apple, that's a serious FAIL!

 

I really don't know where to start here... As a lover of pretty much all of the offerings that Apple makes available to us mere mortals, MobileMe has pretty much sucked at most of the things it does for pretty much most of the time.

Extremely slow file transfer and file navigation; Back to my Mac almost never working (it's the 'almost' that enrages me as it CAN work with my setup, just mainly chooses NOT to) and to be honest, for the price, the online storage space is rather limited.

But, to be told when going to www.me.com (as in the image above) on my nice shiny new iPad, that I have to use some crappy low resolution iPhone apps to interact with it instead of the nicely polished web interface they have developed I am afraid is nothing other than a huge FAIL in my books.

I can fully understand Apples refusal to allow Flash on their babies, but to refuse you to be able to use the one thing it touts as its major strength - the web and it's own part of the web - defies belief.

Do the MobileMe people actually work for Apple or Adobe? 

To not be able to use Apples flagship online application suite on their flagship piece of hardware is without a doubt one of the biggest own goals I have ever seen.

Is this some kind of compromise to Adobe to try to placate them? 

"OK, if we won't allow your web services on the iPad, then we won't allow ours either"?

The web interface to MobileMe is crying out - no, begging to be used on the iPad. You'd almost think the MobileMe web environment was purpose designed for the iPad.

To not even create descent versions of the iPhone apps specifically for the iPad at the very least is equally amazing. To date, Mobile Me has always been the one 'little' thing that has let the side down for Apple. But this, quite frankly is worthy of a Microsoft planning decision.

Apple... Please sort this embarrassing FAIL out as soon as you can. It makes this part of your business look like amateurs and takes the shine off all you are working for...

Rant over... Feel better ;-)

I have heard that Safari on the iPad can't handle Rich Text Editors... Please tell me this isn't so!
