I've read a lot of comments and reviews on the iPad. One of the major criticisms has been sharing documents and webpages between laptops, desktops, iPhones, and iPads. Should AAPL buy DropBox so it could offer a more seamless user experience?
Why buy dropbox when it is cheaper and easier to just fix some of the problems with the existing MobileMe service? Stealing a page from dropbox and similar services, Apple should just make a basic MobileMe account free and let you buy additional services as needed. The service is already integrated into the desktop OS, it is partially integrated into the iPhone OS, and if they just added some polish and back-end resources they would have a decent start towards cutting off Google encroachment into their platform.
