Apple has gotten a beating with its Mobile Me launch from the press and this post really isn’t meant to add to the blows. Rather, it’s to amplify to the greatness of what Mobile Me was set out to be. In its fully working state, Mobile Me indeed was supposed to be “Exchange for the rest of us” and then some. This is Apple we’re talking about. The company that made the Super Phone super its first time out of the gates while other manufacturers that have been doing this trade for near a decade has still yet to pull of what Apple did on its release day. With early reports coming from Apple’s own Mobile Me blogger that all is fixed now, hopefully Mobile Me can be the glorious cloud we all want it to be.

That said, what about iDisk? I mean, all my Macs happily share documents, files, and such via the synchronized “disk” in the Mobile Me cloud. Why can’t my iPhone have access to it? I mean, the iPhone can already handle many document types and via QuickTime other multimedia files. So, browsing ones iDisk hierarchy shouldn’t be a problem at all, right? I mean, the column view was made for the iPhone! To be able to realize while at a business meeting that you forgot some information from a document and then be able to say, “Oh, I’ll just look it up via my iPhone on the iDisk,” would be a life saver! Or being able to show videos off to your friends at a party by just simply logging into to your iDisk. Speed shouldn’t be an issue with 3G or Wi-Fi, right?

Apple, I hope you’re on the same track that I am and that you’re just simply being very secretive as usual. I hope, along with my cut-n-paste, this will be coming in the firmware update 2.1. Please tell me it’s so! If not, please add this to your list ASAP!

(PS: I know I can log into the web site and do this, too, but come on, we want native support!)
