Apple just posted a page with status of the Mobile Me services. I appreciate the frank tone here:

Steve Jobs has asked me to write a posting every other day or so to let everyone know what’s happening with MobileMe, and I’m working directly with the MobileMe group to ensure that we keep you really up to date. In the 14 days since we launched, it’s been a rocky road and we know the pain some people have been suffering. Be assured people here are working 24-7 to improve matters, and we’re going to favor getting you new info hot off the presses even if we have to post corrections or further updates later.

Mobile Me has been off to a rocky start. For a cloud service that starts at 100 USD a year one would expect better. Still, this is a step in the right direction and I hope that this marks the beginning of Apple becoming a tad more transparent with their customers. Yes things go bad, but sometimes all we need is a channel of regular communication to keep us from being grumpy!
