MobileMe + Account ID

[Buff401]

I've just got Mobile Me but I'm a bit confused about account setup. As I already have a mac, iPhone (and iTunes ) I have a current "Apple ID" but do i need to set up a new one for MM or can i continue to use my existing ID? Any help, tips or guidance appreciated

Just found how to do it. Go to http://www.me.com/activate. Then follow the instructions on the screen.
I found I had to setup a new account ID. After that it is simple.

I had to call them when I set up my MM ID and had them transfer all my info from the old AppleID to my MM one (I had things like applecare, product registrations, etc).

I also asked them to transfer the itunes purchases/licenses but they said that they were not able to do that. Not a big deal as I don't actually have any purchases from the itunes store, only a handful of free ipod apps and one or two that I got for free before they started charging for them. For those free ones I just re-downloaded them on the new account. For the free-but-now-pay ones, I just use my old login info if needed for updates, etc.
