Apple intro’d a bunch of things today: iMac, iLife ‘08, iWork ‘08, among other things – including up to 10GB of iDisk space. They’re promising everyone will see it by August 14. I’m lucky enough to have mine already.
.mac System Preferences didn’t show it immediately, but I went in to the web control panel and it showed 10240 MB total. I fussed with my allocation between iDisk and Email and voila!
But why are email only accounts still hobbled at 50MB? I nearly went on a rant about Email Only accounts still being at 50MB, however this article proves me wrong. Little known fact: Email Only accounts now have a fairly healthy 512MB. Still not Gmail-sized, but also ad-free for $10.
I do like that .mac is now allowing you to bring your own domain name. Finally I can recommend iWeb with one less reservation – though you do still need the initial .mac account. Rapidweaver still wins on price alone, if only I liked their templates better.
