Late in the day, Apple released the iCloud Beta. This beta will allow developers to test their apps for compatibility as well as giving a preview to some of the iCloud features.
Upon logging in, I realized how useful this feature will be for me from a work perspective. Prior to iCloud, I was not able to access my work email from my Mail App on my Mac due to an issue with the Microsoft Outlook Exchange server. With iCloud, I was successfully able to access my mail with the amazing UI features offered with the Lion release. THIS IS HUGE!!! If they offered nothing else with this release, I would still be content. This will make life so much easier.
I will be spending the next few days getting familiar with iCloud and post more information on features and design as I learn more. Thus far, I'm very pleased.
The UI design is as expected...delightful.
Pricing for additional storage beyond the 5 GB being offered for free (music, apps, video and photo stream do not count in the 5 GB) has been released by Apple to include:
- 10 GB = $20 annually
- 20 GB = $40 annually
- 50 GB = $100 annually
