Given the problems Apple have been having with the MobileMe service and it's current slowness perhaps this isn't such a great idea ?

This will put 15 times the load of a normal user on the MobileMe servers for everyone that does it, that racks up pretty quick.

If not for Apple then for all the other poor users of MobileMe it might be better to wait for a more permanent solution to turn up.

But then Apple should have used true Push events, and only sync when there was something to sync, not every 15 min.
I think they deserve this...

Same as: Why go through all the trouble of adding Exchange support, when the calendar (in iOS 2.0) does not even support their OWN iCal Server.. Shame on them!
