iPhone 3G: The Aftermath

iPhone 3G: The Aftermath

  • Leo Laporte did iPhone 3G coverage marathon at TWiTlive.tv. Staying up for 24 hour covering iPhone 3G launch is pretty crazy.
  • Lots of people bought iPhone 3G.
  • MobileMe is finally up more than 10 minutes at a time.
  • iPhone/iPod touch Software 2.0 is officially released.
  • .Mac website is offline.
  • AT&T seems to be having problems with iPhone 3G activations for significant numbers of customers.

Apple releases Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.1 (July 11th, 2008) following Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.0 that was released on July 9th, 2008. Available through Software Update.

UPDATE:
A friendly reminder for those waiting for .Mac Webmail to be online again. You can access your .Mac mail through MobileMe. Go to www.me.com/mail/

I’ll post more about the problems AT&T was having related to iPhone 3G activations.

Apple Struggles with MobileMe Launch

UPDATE 2008.07.10 08:17PM: MobileMe site is back online.

UPDATE 2008.07.10 04:45PM: MobileMe site is offline again.

UPDATE 2008.07.10 04:00PM: MobileMe site is now online but .Mac site is still offline. Unfortunately the performance of me.com is so slow. MobileMe seems to be overwhelmed right now.

UPDATE 2008.07.10 03:46PM: MobileMe site is still non operational and so is .Mac site. Email for @mac.com and @me.com through POP, IMAP and SMTP are working. iDisk is online. Web Gallery is offline.

UPDATE 2008.07.10 04:20AM: MobileMe site went up briefly and then redirects to Apple.com/MobileMe.

UPDATE: www.mac.com went into maintenance mode around 9:00PM Pacific Time. POP, IMAP and SMTP for .Mac mail is still working.

Apple first scheduled MobileMe launch at 6:00PM Pacific Time on July 9th, 2008. Zero hour, Apple still had www.mac.com up and confirmed that MobileMe launch was pushed back to 8:00PM Pacific Time.

MobileMe Launch
7/9/2008, 8pm-2am PT

As part of the MobileMe launch, www.mac.com will be taken offline at 8pm PT on Wednesday, July 9th.

Members will be unable to access www.mac.com or any .Mac services during this time with the exception of .Mac Mail accessed via a desktop application, iPhone, or iPod touch.

MobileMe will be available as soon as possible during this maintenance window.

As of 8:42PM, www.mac.com is still up and there’s no sign of MobileMe service yet. It is possible that Apple encountered problems with MobileMe launch.
