Push Question - I have an ipod touch and my wife has a iPhone. I have an individual mobileme account under my name and have push set up to push my email, contacts and calendar to my ipod touch. If I want to also sync the calendar and contacts with my wife's iPhone, do I need a Family Pack mobileme membership so that she has a me.com address too? It seems the push is tied to the me.com email address, but I can't seem to find an answer on this anywhere.

The push is tied to the individual email address although I have multiples (upgraded to the family pack and I have three of the .me addresses) which I access using mail app, so when I change a calander on 1 it changes them all..

DO NOT pay for this program yet, it is full of flaws and BARELY FUNCTIONS. I purchased it from an apple outlet then returned after 3 days because I was never able to log in. And although their Help page states that tech support will respond within 24 hours, they didn't even respond after 36 - so I returned the product.
Now I'm using the 2 month free trial and boy I'm glad I went and got my money back. Believe it or not but the calender app is EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED - either that or it just doesn't work properly. Probably a combo of both. Example: I'm traveling for 3 days and I want the calender to block out those three days. Pretty simple huh? Nope. Only the first day is blocked out from 12:01 to 7 PM (I actually return at 7 on the third day). I've also created a "New Calander" (similar concept to the playlist in iTunes) several times but when I re-login to my account that calander is gone. What's more, the calender app has frozen several times while I've been working on it so I've had to close my broser, reopen it, and relogin. SERIOUSLY NOW, WAS MOBILEME DESIGNED BY MICROSOFT????

@ thegubernaculum and those having trouble with MobileMe.
This program functions great. AJAX is complex and yet it functions very closely to a native app. There is even copy/paste/select all shortcuts, but you have to use the Control key instead of the Command key since that is being used by the browser/system.
I threw a quick video together using ScreenFlow (great app with many features that uses CoreAnimation for video capture so it doesn't tax the system) showing you how easy it is to create a multi-day event.

PS: If you only tried MobileMe before Sunday then there were many problems. I blame Apple for releasing so many things at once. With the free 60 days trial their would have been many people seeing how Push (which isn't going live for iPhone apps until September per the WWDC keynote) and other stuff works. If Apple had released it earlier to current .Mac users prior to the iPhoen launch they could have worked out some bugs and seen the possible impact. They should also have removed the 60 day trial temporarily, too. The result is a lot of people who think MobileMe sucks because Apple's planning sucked.
