The retail price of .mac is usually $99 but the price on Amazon makes this wonderful service even sweeter. I used iDisk for offsite storage, sync to sync my multiple macs, @mac email gives you the apple mail experience over the web, wherever you are in the world, even on Windows.Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
.Mac is great. Ties everything together, if you have a mac you need to get this!Customer Review: Fourth year subscriber...
Summary: 4 Stars
I fell into the .Mac fold when Apple granted me a one year free subscription four years ago, as a reward for my participation in a training program. Clearly they knew what they were doing. Over the years, .Mac has become my primary email account, my web hosting provider, my trusty source of documents stored online (via iDisk), my syncing solution between my iMacs at work and at home, and now, my link to a far more enjoyable experience as an iPhone owner.
Many resourceful people have found cheaper ways to kludge together cheaper or free alternative solutions that can mimic many of the benefits of .Mac, but I have yet to see a solution that bundles all these useful tools in one set-it-and-forget-it package.
.Mac has fallen short of it's true potential, but Apple seems to be working on a solution to use .Mac as a seamless solution to truly bridge all of your Apple computers via the internet with a feature built into Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Called "Back To My Mac", .Mac promises, but does not yet deliver, the ability for .Mac subscribers with multiple Mac computers to share documents across a network (theoretically any Macintosh computer anywhere on any network, in the world) as if you were at the keyboard of all your other computers. BTMM doesn't work for most of .Mac subscribers and I sincerely hope that Apple is directing it's powerful resources at a fix for us. .Mac has greater potential that it has yet to achieve, but on the whole, it provides a great, very utilitarian set of tools.
It's true, the $99 a year subscription rate is steep for what you get, but thanks to Amazon and it's sub-$70 price for .Mac, it's an easy, easy product to heartily recommend for all Macintosh owners... especially those with iPhones!
Customer Review: Good price for .mac

This arrived within just a few days. I was able to convert my trial account to a 1-year account... I like the price compared to Apple's own website and store price as well. I only wish they would increase the storage size and everything else for this price. I think it is still a bit too expensive for what it is. The integration with OSX is really nice, though, and I will probably renew again as long as I can get it for a discounted price.
