Apple To Unveil The iCloud Service
Apple CEO Steve Jobs is due to unveil a new cloud computing service labelled iCloud at it’s annual developers conference on the 6th June.
In a press release that you can read below, Apple have announced that they will launch a new service called the iCloud.
Although details are sketchy it is believed that this will be, at least at first, a music based service allowing the streaming of tunes over the web ala Spotify.
A cloud service would have many other uses however, and it is likely that features such as that provided by dropbox would be a simple addition. We feel that the service will really take off when the latest iphone 5 news is confirmed.
Other items noted in the release is the new version of the Mac OS nicknamed Lion and an update to the mobile OS to v5.
