I let my .Mac account lapse last year cause of the $100 yearly. This would be so great -- I really hope it becomes a reality.

It sounds like it wasn't announced at WWDC (so perhaps is just rumor), but I'd love to see it happen, too.

Why bother paying $100 a year for email, online storage, online calendar service and few other things when Google offers much the same thing to anyone with a Web browser for free. Mac.com email addresses could easily be migrated over to GMail, or some Mac-like variation of GMail. Google could also easily host the various Mac.com Web sites that Apple's users have created, the online storage caches they've salted away, and so on. Outsourcing this relationship to Google would let Google do what it does best and further build its relationship with Mac users</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EE0826B5-50D8-467E-851F-36EC4CDE785E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
