One major question here, will back to my Mac get rolled over to mobile me or become a free service of the OS. To be honest, I'm more interested in what Serlet has to say than the keynote.

I've paid the .Mac (previously iTools) since it went to a paid subscription service. I want to access my email using the website and I cannot access it.

Is this o.k.?

I demand to be able to use my .Mac account, call it MobileMe, call it AppleHasMyMoney, whatever, but give me access to the service when I need it.

I'd like to know if the @mac.com emails will continue to be available for users.
It would be a shame if they force users to change to @me.com addresses.

Still no bloody To Do support!
What is wrong with you, Apple?!? You encourage people to use To Dos by putting the feature into iCal and then into Mail....but then you refuse to support the same feature in the iPhone, where it could really be useful!
There's just no good reason to omit ToDos after the iPhone has been on the market for a year. Really, this really dulls my excitement over an otherwise great looking next-gen iPhone.

How much do you think it cost Apple to buy the me.com domain?

Once again, no To Do support!!
This is insane. Really, it makes no sense to encourage people to use To Dos by building them into iCal and then into Mail, while refusing to support the same feature on the iPhone, where it could really be useful.
It's pathetic that Apple can't manage to support such a common feature found on all other phones. Really, for me, this seriously mars an otherwise great-looking update to the iPhone.

I'm going to be TOTALLY pissed if they get rid of the mac.com address. Will Apple suddenly pay for my business cards or the time it's going to take me to change everything over to a new address? This is such a pain in the ass. I expect this kind of crap from my cable company, but not Apple.

Yes, very good comment Caustic Salt, I'd like to know if my mail is still going to be @mac.com or are they going insane and have me update all of my contact information. If they do, I may switch fully to gmail or my own domain.

.mac addresses aren't going away just look at what it says in Apple.com You can use either or both.

I have no interest in a "mobileme.com" email address. I'll have to carefully evaluate any real new value, but if they kill my "mac.com" address I may just cancel and switch to my comcast email and web space. This sounds like an utterly stupid and unnecessary complication. If they want to ADD "mobileme" as a parallel domain, fine; disrupting all existing members would be stupid.

Can I ask. If I add a bookmark to safari on my macbook, will that the automagically appear on my other macs in the house (I have .Mac but have always been frustrated by the way it basically does not sync at all)

I've used .mac since the days of the iTools days and if the plan to roll .mac into .me means I lose my .mac account, I can pretty much say that I'll be dropping this. While some of the features are nice, the only reason why I've stayed with .mac was the email account. If I lose that then there's little reason to keep it.

Besides .me is not as nerdy as .mac and I have a reputation to uphold :D
