Apple may offer MobileMe for free to fight Google

5/10/10 By

A tentative new rumor asserts that Apple may turn MobileMe into a free service. The plan would drop the $99 annual fee and let anyone with an iPad, iPod, iPhone or Mac get the online sync service for free. The MDN contact wouldn’t give a launch window but hinted at it coming “sooner than later” with the launch depending on “certain facilities” going live on time.

I don’t know. Would I give up Google Apps in favor of MobileMe? The service would have to be pretty darned good — and free — if I did.

iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store
