So now when will To-Do's show up on the iPhone? We have to-do's in iCal on the desktop, To-Do's in iCal on the Web, iCal sync between desktop, web and phone, and no To-Do list on the iPhone. I'm so perplexed by this because the To-Do application is ridiculously simple and there is no excuse for this.
I currently have a large file I'd like to send to a high ranking potential client, who doesn't have a lot of time to waste futzing with passwords and waiting for countdowns before he can download a large file.
I have mobile me, but the send file as a link from iDisk doesn't work, and I really don't want to send him through the process of downloading the idisk helper, installing it, etc. I really wish they'd get that one fixed, and if anyone has any recs for something that would be almost as simple and pretty inexpensive (since I probably only need it this one time) I'm all ears.
YES!!! My OCD made me click it even though it didn't work. Now I don't feel like they're mocking me every time I login.
Obviously it wasn't "quietly" updated, since there's a support document detailing the changes, which were also mentioned on the MobileMe news page. Why do tech writers feel a need to imply that Apple is sneaking around behind our backs fixing things, as if they were afraid to admit that they had ever made a mistake? Clearly this is not the case.

This feature was scrapped last minute when they released mobileme and hasn't been added back yet. I am looking for this feature to be implemented as well... but it seems it isn't at the top of the priority list.
