For me, the problem of MobileMe's pricing isn't that it costs $100/yr. It's the fact that if I don't want to use the service anymore, everyone who has that email address will need to get my new address. With free services that offer email forwarding (Gmail comes to mind), this isn't an issue at all. Once you get a MobileMe email address, it's tough to get out of that mess. With Google's Sync service, I get half of the MobileMe benefits (push contacts and calendars) for free. And I can move from it if I'd like. There's no lock-in. Then to replace iDisk, there's Dropbox, with a much better merge-handling system. The only MobileMe feature missing from these services is Find my iPhone.
