The link posted above is useless as it is completely out of date.
You cannot migrate a MobileMe to iCloud: MobileMe is closed and the contents of all accounts have been deleted.
If you had a MobileMe account you can reactivate the @me.com address by signing into System Preferences>iCloud with it and enabling Mail in the checklist there (Lion 10.7.2 or above required, you cannot do this on older systems) or in Settings>iCloud on an iOS5 device. The address will work but the previous contents of the account will not appear. If you also had an @mac.com version of the address from being a long-standing MobileMe member you cannot reactivate that, only the @me.com address.
You've missed the 14 month transition period, which was from June 6th 2011 until July 31st 2012.
All accounts not migrated in that time have now been deleted.
In fact the transition period started on October 12, when iCloud became available to general users (just being pedantic), but of course it comes to the same thing - the period is over and migration isn't possible.
Ah, yeah you're right. I was thinking of the 'download your stuff before MobileMe shuts down' period!
