Over on The Apple Phone Show Blog, Liana Lehua suggested that iPhone fans buy a copy of .Mac from Amazon.com now in order to access MobileMe when it goes live in July. It looks like you’ll save about $30 if you do this.
The only problem is that Amazon.com itself is out of stock on both the .Mac 5.0 Single User Pack and the .Mac 5.0 Family Pack at the time this article was written. Orders placed today will either have to go to one of Amazon’s partners (like J&R Music World) or wait until Amazon gets more stock– which may not happen before MobileMe software packages become available.
