Do n’t think of iCloud as the new MobileMe ; think of iCloud as the new iTunes .
Albeit it ’s what he calls “ quaternary - mitt information , ” here ’s what he think of ( to cite him generously , again ):
With iPhones , iPods , and iPads , the cardinal store for almost all data store on the gadget is iTunes running on your Mac or PC . With iCloud , that should shift to the swarm . iTunes , the screen background app , presently syncs the following thing with iOS gadget : audio , movies and telly shows , iBooks e - books , App Store apps , contact , calendar , bookmarks , notes , and any sort of data file partake in between iOS apps . All of these thing would be well served syncing over - the - tune via the so - prognosticate swarm .
The closing result would be an iOS experience that ’s more like Android or Windows Phone out of the boxful — you pull it out , perforate in your iTunes ID and you ’re doing magical things right away , without get to sync to a computer running the latest reading of iTunes on the up-to-the-minute version of OS X or Windows . And that ’d be just part of iCloud .
select with the rumors about Time Capsule and iTunes euphony streaming , the grownup picture of iCloud is no less than the storage and connexion of all your crucial datum ( documents , euphony , whatever ) across all of your devices . Access to everything on your Mac through Time Capsule . stream your music through iTunes . Your contacts and calendars synchronize on every machine . And more . It could be huge . [ Daring Fireball ]
