Apple is trying to make friends and influence people who have been disappointed over the latest issues with the iPhone 3G. Apple is offering MobileMe users 60 days of service for free.

The company’s wireless syncing service was supposed to replace its .Mac service and provide nearly instant data syncing between a user’s home computer and an iPhone 3G. But MobileMe has been beset with difficulties since its launch in July.

“The transition from .Mac to MobileMe was rockier than we had hoped,� read a note on Apple’s support site. “While we are making a lot of improvements, the MobileMe service is still not up to our standards. We are extending subscriptions 60-days free of charge to express appreciation for our members’ patience as we continue to improve the service. �

The free 60 days will be available for MobileMe subscribers with an active account as of Aug. 19, the company said. The latest freebie comes in addition to a previous free 30 days of service Apple doled out to subscribers.

This doesn’t fix the ongoing issues, and will only act as a gesture of good faith on Apple’s part. Will have to see what the Apple camp has next for its loyal users of the iPhone 3G.
