Not that anyone could really dance around the facts of the matter at  
this point, but in an email to Apple employees sent today, apparently  
Steve said, "It was a mistake to launch MobileMe at the same time as  
iPhone 3G, iPhone 2.0 software and the App Store. We all had more than  
enough to do, and MobileMe could have been delayed without  
consequence." Apple exec Eddie Cue appears to taking the much maligned  
service under his wing (as well as the App Store, adding to his  
original gig as VP of iTunes), hopefully making good on the other bit  
in El Jobso's email where he resets Apple's call to action on .Mac's  
replacement: "The MobileMe launch clearly demonstrates that we have  
more to learn about Internet services. And learn we will. The vision  
of MobileMe is both exciting and ambitious, and we will press on to  
make it a service we are all proud of by the end of this year." We'll  
see about that!
