Recently I wrote about breaking free of MobileMe and of Firefox (which has been seriously lagging in performance and features). Well, I've managed to do both.
First off, the iOS 4.2 Beta2 has released me from the grips of MobileMe. I can now have multiple Exchange calendars (the last thing holding me back). True, I am missing the ability to locate my iPhone, iPod, iPad using MobileMe but, frankly, that's $119 worth of insurance that I don't need. Everything other feature of MobileMe can be found on Google and other similar services. Until Apple either makes MobileMe more compelling or cheaper (i.e. free) I can't see myself heading back into Apple's warm embrace (at least not for cloud services).
Second off, I'm now 100% Chrome instead of Firefox. I've found extensions for 1Password (beta), AdBlock, Evernote Clipper, Forecastfox Weather (which takes up less interface space than on Firefox). I've given up on mouse gestures primarily because I do most of my browsing on my iPad or Macbook anyway. I'm really enjoying the speed and reliability of Chrome. Nothing comes close.
