iCloud preview

iCloud was also announced in Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) 2011.This will replace MobileMe. iCloud basically stores your music, photos, apps, calendars, documents and more in the cloud, and wireless push and sync the information to all your Apple devices.

You will automatically get 5GB of storage space free upon signing up for iCloud. Your purchased apps, music, books as well as your Photo Stream (photos) do not count against your 5GB so it should be more than enough. This information can be stored in the Cloud and can be restored back to your device.

The following are the information stored in the cloud:
  1. Purchased music, apps, and books
  2. Photos and videos in the camera roll
  3. Device settings
  4. App data
  5. Home screen and App organisation
  6. Text and MMS messages
  7. Ringtones
Upon getting a iCloud account, you will get a free me.com account. Your calendar can also be updated to the iCloud and can be shared with other iCloud users. Your entire address book is also stored in iCloud and can be synced to all your devices.

iCloud will also be available in the fall of 2011 (September to November 2011). It will most probably be available at the same time as iOS 5.
