It has long been rumored that Apple's MobileMe, a collection of online services and software, would be moved from a subscription-based product ($99 per year) to a free one. At the end of February, Apple discontinued offering MobileMe through its retail stores, sparking a new wave of rumors that the service would be relaunched. Now it looks like those rumors, if a "trusted iLounge source" is to be, well, trusted, are coming true. Next month, MobileMe, which premiered back in January of 2000 as iTools, will relaunch and be free of charge. "The source, who works for a major educational institution, claims the school's supplier has said the current version of MobileMe is no longer available, and that Apple is suggesting new students sign up for the 60-day trial to cover the gap between the final MobileMe shipment and the launch of the new version," iLounge reported.
