MobileMe Should Be Fine Now, Says Apple... "Our Bad"

It seems Apple has finally, almost three weeks later, fixed the issues plaguing 1% of MobileMe users and restored their e-mail:

We have completed restoring Mail service, including historical messages, to all of the 1% of affected members. Thank you all for your extreme patience during this trying time. If you have been affected by this issue and are still having problems we have established a dedicated chat line to reach a MobileMe Mail specialist for help. Please use this dedicated chat line for Mail issues only. By completing this restoration of Mail services, we hope we have put the vast majority of MobileMe Mail problems behind us and can now focus on improving other aspects of this new ambitious service.

The service restoration itself, however, was not without its hitches, as a syncing bug was discovered on Monday that temporarily caused contact and calendar data to disappear from customer's iPhones and iPod Touches:

When we fixed the bug in the late afternoon, the problem resolved itself for most users: their data simply reappeared on their iPhone or iPod Touch. If you are one of those affected users and your data has not automatically reappeared, follow the steps at this link to restore your data.

Worst Apple product launch ever? Maybe.
