Apple is acknowledging that the launch of MobileMe, their cloud/push/sync data solution, was less than stellar:

The transition from .Mac to MobileMe was rockier than we had hoped. 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. link

This is a mature response from Apple, whose fanboys (ahem) were disappointed that there were outages during the launch, and that various push and sync services did not work as advertised - and, in the case of calendar push to the iPhone, still don’t work properly.

I think the best apology is a rapid correction of the problem, but this is a nice gesture as well.
