Developer seed released today. Coming to the rest of you in the fall (with maybe iPhone 5?).

[Uncle Ted]

iCloud: keeping everything in sync. The center of your digital life will be "the cloud"...



Your life stored in the cloud and pushed to all your (i)Devices and as Steve puts it, "and it all works."



Mail:



Sync your purchases:



Backup to the cloud:




Documents in the cloud:



For one low price**:




** I am thinking backups will be an additional cost. Nope, all free (for the first 5GB).

[Uncle Ted]

Steve doesn't want you PC users to feel left out. Documents in the Cloud works on the Mac and PC too...

[Uncle Ted]

So much for flickr... (maybe)







"One of the problems we faced is that photos are large and will consume all the memory in your devices."

"We're going to store photos on your devices. We'll store the last 1,000 photos."

f you want to keep something permanently, just move it into an album. On the Mac or PC, all are stored permanently.

In the cloud, photos are kept for 30 days.

(methinks that there will be a need to archive your photo stream to something like flickr which gives me an idea for an app.)

[Uncle Ted]

Wait... there is one more thing:







No (additional) charge for multiple downloads of the songs you have purchased to all your (i)devices without sync'ing.

[Uncle Ted]

Developer beta available today.
