I'm starting to get more messages about MobileMe ending, but despite all the info people have been posting online, I'm still confused as to how to deal with my own situation.
I currently keep all my contacts, calendar, and probably a few other things on MobileMe, and have my devices tied to that account's Find My iDevice function.
However, I use a different email address for my Apple account (app purchases, Game Center, etc.). I believe I've already created an iCloud account using this email, though I'm not sure if I have anything on it yet. It seems that Apple really only wants you to have one sign-on for iCloud, the app store, etc., since you can store your purchases there.
It sounds like I can't really merge the MobileMe data into my existing Apple/iCloud account.
It sounds like some me functionality is going away (ie, not replicated by iCloud functionality).
What do I need to do to keep my calendar and contacts synced across all my computers and devices, and how do I move them from my existing MobileMe account to my existing iCloud account?
Can I still keep my @me.com email address?
Does iCloud have an email account/address that comes with it?
It seems like I should be able to wrap my head around this myself, but it's still unclear.

Here is a fantastic article on moving to iCloud. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4918
And, yes, you can keep your current @me.com address. Instead of being associated with MobileMe, @me.com email addresses are now iCloud (and MobileMe user will be migrated over), so the email address that comes with iCloud is @me.com. Again, I believe you are able to keep your current @me.com address.
Unfortunately, merging wouldn't be possible.
