In preparation for a big iCloud announcement at WWDC today, Apple is refunding money to users whose MobileMe accounts automatically renewed recently.

TUAW reports that several readers reached out to them saying Apple charged their account for another year of MobileMe service (like usual), but then immediately refunded the money.

This could be a sign that Apple is disbanding MobileMe, or simply re-branding it as a free (or somewhat free) service.

It's unlikely that we'll see another $99.99 per year plan considering Google is giving away many of the same features for free with Google Sync.
