Technology is always advancing and as such a developer’s work is never done. Now, a new survey suggests that going forward, many developers are focusing their attention on providing mobile products that utilize Apple’s iCloud service and Google’s new social network, Google+.
At the beginning of the week, Apple launched its iCloud Web interface for developers (which can be accessed at http://icloud.com). Now, the company has launched its new, iCloud-powered Find My iPhone and Find My Mac services, which can also be accessed by developers from iCloud's Web interface.
Apple has finally unveiled its iCloud pricing structure for those customers that wish to purchase additional storage beyond the 5 GB each user receives free of charge. With this in mind, we thought it was important to compare these prices with those of similar products already on the market. To do so, we've compared iCloud prices with those of Dropbox, Amazon’s Cloud Drive and the Google Music Beta service.
Following the launch of iCloud.com to developers last night, we're getting more details on what the service will offer. More precisely, we've just been able to confirm that not only will iWork with iCloud keep all your documents in sync across device, but you will also be able to upload documents to your iWork iCloud storage from the browser.
Following the launch of iCloud.com, Apple has just released some special builds of its iOS iWork apps to registered developers on its iCloud-dedicated portal.
Along the launch of the iCloud frontend on iCloud.com, Apple just flipped the switch and started displaying the pricing of additional iCloud storage inside iOS.
After first rolling out the ability to redownload previously purchased music in iTunes and iOS for US customers, Apple has now extended this first part of the iCloud service to TV Shows as well.
If you like Dropbox but need more options for sharing your pictures, CloudAlbums may be able to assist you. Sharing via the app, email or even individually created webpages is a snap, but do you really need those features these days?
We’ve heard a lot about Apple’s evolving iCloud project and expect to hear much more as the service goes online in the next few months. However, as much as Apple might want us to believe its future is “in the clouds,” it really isn’t. In fact, Apple is counting on it.
Apple has just released a new MobileMe to iCloud transition FAQ that answers many of the questions many have had since the iCloud service was announced earlier this month. In particular, we now know that yes, users will be able to access iCloud apps on the web. However, not all of them.
Hot on the heels of Amazon, Google and Apple, Best Buy has just unveiled its own cloud-based music service, called "Best Buy Music Cloud" (which is powered by Play Anywhere).
A new patent filing suggests Apple could eventually release something best described as “Find My iPhone” Part II. This patent involves technology that would help individuals secure their data more effectively in case their iDevice is stolen, according to Patently Apple. Still, we wonder if it is even necessary.
Now, without having to pay a cent, you'll be able to re-access all your expired email, storage and calendar accounts. Even better, they actually work right now, if you have iCloud-capable software (such as a beta of iOS 5 or OS X Lion).
Score one for Android owners. Sony today released its Music Unlimited service for Android devices, which looks a lot like Apple's iCloud and upcoming iTunes Match product. Plus, it includes Pandora-like capabilities too.
Here’s something you won’t be reading in Apple’s iCloud promotional material; the cloud service relies on products from Microsoft and Amazon. In fact, for the time being anyway, it looks like Apple isn’t even using its North Carolina data center to backup data, according to ZDNet.
Believe it or not, some iPhone/iPod touch and iPad owners never attach their iDevice to their computer's iTunes application once it is activated for the first time. Unfortunately, come upgrade time the process takes a lot longer than it should. This is especially true for Apple Retail Store employees who are often the ones asked to do the upgrade. Luckily, iCloud is about to change that.
Less than one week after announcing its new cloud-based service at the WWDC keynote presentation, Apple is facing a lawsuit regarding the "iCloud" trademark, recent reports claim.
