Really Annoyed with Apple and MobileMe

Sticky Fingers

I am very p***ed off with Apple and their MobileMe charge. On the 30.5.2011 I was charged the usual E79 for the service. This charge as you know is for a year. Then, a week later or so they announced that MM is being discontinued and replaced by iCloud.
I've got in touch with them and requested a refund but they told me to PFO, in a completely polite, wordy and Applespeak way. They knew bloody well the service was going to be extended till June 12 and it would be free. If my sub was due on the 8th June I would not be charged.
The line the guy I was chatting with said it was the luck of the draw that I was charged. As I said during my chat, I thought it was underhand, something a low cost airline or door to door salesman would do. I also said it was sharp practice. It made no difference of course. I'm just wondering was anyone else caught out like this ?

The reported from WWDC was that Apple were auto refunding MobileMe subscriptions.

I gave them a few weeks to supposedly auto return, hasn't and won't happen though.
