It is easier to use iOS devices untethered once you stop using Apple's rather poor cloud services. I unsubscribed to MobileMe a while back and no longer use iTunes except for software updates.
I use Spotify for music now, use Google calendar synced via the exchange integration, Plaintext for dropbox synced notes, etc.

Apple are so far behind on cloud services and still charge $99 for mobile me. Switched that spend to spotify instead... They need to come up with some very compelling services to compete.
