WWDC: Apple Launches iCloud

Apple announced the launch of it's iCloud at the Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday in San Francisco. Apple will now be joining the ranks of Google and Amazon with the breadth of its cloud offerings. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, noted during the keynote, "iCloud is the post-PC-world replacement for syncing everything — photos, audio, documents and more — across all your Apple devices." (source)

This new iCloud will replace Apple's former cloud service, MobileMe. It has also been noted that "iCloud also allows users to backup books, settings, documents, photos and music. That means a user could lose a device, sign in, and retrieve all of the lost device's data automatically." (source)

Here is a two-minute clip about what is in store for our future with the new iCloud!
