With all the free services out there, is Mobile Me worth the cost?

It's seamless (with most Apple and many third-party apps).
Integration between multiple Macs and iPhones.
It requires no "set-up".
It just works.
That said... there are products that accomplish the same things for free, with more capacity, and that are faster
but... will require some set-up or networking know-how to get them up and running.
For me (and obviously, many others), the $99/year is worth it to have something that works with no effort on my part.

Worth every penny IMO.

It's worth it to have no advertising which is what "free" sites usually rely on.

2 hours ago I had lunch at a Pakastani restaurant
and while I was there I grabbed a biz card and input their
info. Got home and the minute I fired up my Touch the contact
was sitting there in my Mac's addressbook.
Added a photo and URL as from the desktop and before I knew it looked down
and my Touch's info was updated.
If you like only having to input data once then Mobileme is a Godsend. Seriously
buy it at Amazon when it drops to the low 60 dollars range and you will not miss the
paltry 5 dollars a month it costs. Everything on Mobileme has worked like it should and I've
seen nary an annoying add.
I'm sold.
