He forgets to note that you don't actually need to pay $99 if you just want to sync your contacts and calendar and have push email. Google lets you do that for free, even on iOS. It takes a little more effort to set up than on Android (you have to point your iPhone to Google's Exchange service) but it works just as great. MobileMe isn't the only solution out there for iOS-device owners that want to wirelessly sync their contacts and calenders to the cloud and with other devices. In fact, by spending $99 less[1], you gain the option of syncing with Android/Windows devices as well. If you have an iPad and an Android phone, this is great.
