Apple Announces iCloud
Tue, June 7, 2011
If you are not familiar with a "cloud" it is a place in the outer cosmos that hold all of your data. So instead of saving everything locally on your hard drive, you save your stuff on a server that allows you to access your files anywhere in the world that you are. Think in terms of water that evaporates into the air and you have the ability to make it rain anytime you want. Are you following me? One more example. Lets say you finish a level of Angry Birds at lunch while playing on your iPhone and you go back to work. While there, you get bored and you sneak off to the bathroom with your iPad. You can pick up where you left off at lunch!
Apple has announced that they have a cloud and of course they very creatively threw an "I" in front of the word cloud to give us the iCloud. It will be free for up to 5G of data but nothing was said about paying for more storage. However, it could be assumed that you would have to pay for the expanded storage space.
Normally you can sync your iTunes up to 5 devices, well this allows you to sync up to 10 devices, you Apple junkie!
