My 60 day free trial of MobileMe will be expiring at the end of this month. MobileMe has worked well enough during the trial period, so I purchased a one year subscription last week. For me, the most important feature was the calendar synchronization. Secondly, I needed the ability to track lost iPhones and remotely wipe out data. So, I ordered MobileMe from Amazon last week for $69.99. For whatever reason, the price is higher this week. Here’s the confusing part. Amazon is currently selling MobileMe [OLD VERSION] for $75.00 and MobileMe Individual (Updated 2009 Version) for $95.00.

In reality, the only difference between the two products is that the $75.00 version is fulfilled by Amazon and the $95.00 is sold by Amazon. The OLD VERSION and UPDATED 2009 VERSION labels are meaningless because MobileMe is not a physical product. The MobileMe box contains a sheet of Apple stickers and a pamphlet with an activation code. No CD/DVD. You enter the activation code from either “version” and you get the same MobileMe.
