Walt Mossberg Delivers negative Review to MobileMe

Walt Mossberg, technology expert for the Wall Street Journal, recently delivered a negative review for Apple’s new push service, MobileMe, due to its several failures.

Why is this particularily significant? Well, Mossberg is usually a major fan of Apple products, as depicted in this video here. (NOTE: It’s the first clip, so you don’t need to watch the video in its entirety.)

I can just imagine the following conversation between Mac and PC….

Mac: Oh, hey, what’s that?

PC: Oh, it’s the Wall Street Journal, specifically a review by Walt Mossberg, one of the most respected technology experts on the planet, as you said…

Mac: D-D-D-D-Don’t read it!

PC: …..Well, he certainly can’t recommend MobileMe for crap.

Mac: …………………..

This ought to send a message to Apple about how MobileMe is being handled. Then again, when one suddenly decides that life is no longer @mac.com but at @me.com, I guess one really has a mid-life iCrisis.

I know Apple’s doing its best to fix it, but it really is significant when your most popular fan gives you a bad review.
