A German Mac news website claims that Apple has plans to implement alternative payment methods for their suite of internet services, known as MobileMe, in the near future. Currently, those without credit cards are caught in a dilemma -- they can't renew their subscriptions electronically, but neither can they buy a retail "box" with the MobileMe activation or renewal code from a retail store (Apple has removed the MobileMe box from its retail stores, though some dealers may still have older stock available).
