“We have already made many improvements to MobileMe, but we still have many more to make,” reads the new e-mail. “To recognize our users’ patience, we are giving every MobileMe subscriber as of today a free 60 day extendedness.”

“We are working very hard to force MobileMe a great service we can all be proud of. We know that MobileMe’s slide from the stocks has not been our finest hour, and we truly value rightly your patience as we turn this around,” read the e-mail.

Apple has posted a new Web page on its support site with details about the 60-day supplemental extension.
