Our UK readers will find this one difficult to swallow. Apple’s new iCloud service, first unveiled at this week’s WWDC, won’t launch there until 2012, at least not the service's iTunes Match component. This news comes from The Telegraph, who heard the news first hand from a Performing Right Society (PRS) spokesman.

Folks, developers who already put their hand on iOS 5 have just informed us that you will indeed be able to buy additional (i)Cloud storage in iOS if you wish to do so.
