My mail/cal/contacts already sync with google... what is so special about icloud?
ios & lion look like mundane upgrades...
Also boz the troll is bloody annoying as usual.

If iCloud is merely a service that charges you for storing music that you already own then it will be underwhelming. I think Apple will have learned from its mistakes with MobileMe and won't simply replicate the cloud music offerings from Amazon and Google. We'll see a service that combines with OSX Lion and iOS 5 to move management of all your devices into the cloud. I'm expecting apps that update automatically, wireless syncing between devices and, I hope, the ability to store all your media in the cloud - not just those you've bought from iTunes.
And one more thing: I think there could a hardware surprise at the end of this keynote but I don't think it will be a new iPhone. I think we'll see an updated Time Capsule that enables the iCloud services and, perhaps, allows you to run an iOS device without linking it to a computer.

Apple's getting torn up across web for intellectual property theft within minutes of having announced these new "features"...

i just spent a fuck-ton of time building a website for a company who put all their eggs into one basket as being the frontrunner for a true cloud based solution.
the site launched a few months ago and their product is still held up in production limbo... this could be a disaster for them.
i still don't quite get the part that if i have 10gb of photos on my iphone, it's also 10gb on my ipad, imac and macbook pro. to a certain extent i love the backup redundancy but what is going to happen with my 85gb of music on my imac and my 16gb iphone? the company i did the site for had no idea, but i'm sure apple has it figured out. (grain of salt).
- They could never have provided true iPhone integration, so it's their own fault if they're fucked nowanimatedgif

- pretty legit, imo.dMullins
- iPad created a new breed of user types.dMullins
- It's simply a massive change disguised as a "feature"...ideaist
- Feature (software design) is an intentional distinguishing characteristic of a software item (in performance, portability, or especially functionality).
dMullins - or especially functionality).dMullins
- But Im really not trying to be a fanboy, just saying. I consider it a change too, but it's not like they're lying.dMullins

2:11PM Yeah, that was a burn.2:10PM "In just 9 months we have 50 million Game Center users. To put that into perspective Xbox Live has been around for about eight years and they have around 30 million users."

iCloud has gotta solve the iPhone/iPad document management/transfer issues, because they're a shambles at the minute.
And the only real solution is using Dropbox as a crutch at the moment

LOL at that press conference.. and LOL at copying Android
But the lies and comparisons to Xbox live and the lies about marketshares and numbers. LOL..
Classic Apple

Reasonable synopsis from the NYT re iCloud... http://nyti.ms/mG6QMF

i'm still on mobileme and got a message that they're renewing/extending my subscription until next summer for free while all my shit migrates to icloud.
nice idea.. but like some are saying, it's already being done

Email has been a cloud service since... always, this is especially apparent when using IMAP on phone, computer and the web client. Every change is visible everywhere, you can pick up your half-finished email draft from anywhere.
But as far as phone software cloud hosting goes... yesterday's announcement doesn't make so much difference here. I can already redownload the apps I purchased before and do so using the phone only, without the computer. The only problem is I don't have a list of all apps I bought like I have in the Mac App Store and the iPhone store doesn't make it clear which apps I had already paid for.

2:46PM Surely some old school MP3.com users are pondering that one a little bit.
2:46PM "This is the first time we've seen this in the music industry -- no charge for multiple downloads to different devices."
- loved that site. i still can't find some of the artists form there. mostly crap, but there were some gems.jaylarson
