.Mac becomes MobileMe imminently

When logging into .Mac today to use webmail, I noticed the following text near the Support section (left hand column):

Quote:
MobileMe Launch
7/9/2008, 6pm-12am PT

As part of the MobileMe launch, www.mac.com will be taken offline at 6pm PT on Wednesday, July 9th.

Members will be unable to access www.mac.com or any .Mac services during this time with the exception of .Mac Mail accessed via a desktop application, iPhone, or iPod touch.

MobileMe will be available as soon as possible during this maintenance window.
iPhone and iPod touch software update to follow soon?

That's what I would expect, based upon the release date of the 3G iPhone. It would be nice if the software was out earlier, but I'm just being impatient.

Now mac.com isn't accessible anymore. It says:

This service is temporarily unavailable.
We are currently performing scheduled maintenance.
Normal service will be restored soon.

Interesting. Also, Apple last night said the switch would occur at 8 PM PT, not 6 PM as they originally stated, and be finished by midnight (PT).

iTunes 7.7 has just been released, by the way. Next: the iPod touch/iPhone software.

Impatient? Me?

If you really want it now, you can upload install package to get your system ready for MobileMe.

MobileMe still seems to be UnavailableMe.

I can understand that sometimes there are hitches, but being without access to webmail for this account all day (so far!) has been rather inconvenient and I would appreciate information from Apple.
