Apple iCloud: Everything you need to know (Digital Trends)

Posted: 06 Jun 2011 05:20 PM PDT

Digital Trends - In addition to discussing OSX Lion and iOS 5 today at Apple’s WWDC, Steve Jobs announced that Apple will once again make a foray into cloud storage with a new service called iCloud. The idea is that the new service will seamlessly push user content like music, photos, and documents from the original source (theoretically a Mac or PC) to all of the user’s other iOS devices. With iPhones and iPads becoming almost as common as phones and computers themselves, Apple realizes that it’s now common for users to have all of their content on a home computer without an easy way to get it to their other devices. Jobs noted that the notion of having a home computer as a digital hub for content will soon be outdated. The new hub will be in the cloud, where content can be easily accessed from any of several devices. Apple took a shot at cloud service with MobileMe, but it was generally considered a failure and also cost users $99 per year. Now, Apple has revamped its approach and is offering the content-syncing service for free. Jobs reviewed all the specs in his announcement today, but we’ve got all the details you will need to know as a user looking into the iCloud service.
