Apple to Release iCloud

June 6, 2011 was the date which Apple Inc., has announced to release iCloud. iCloud service allows users to store data such as music, photos, videos, email, apps are just few that automatically synched in and access all to Mac Devices such as iPhones, iPod and iPads and other personal computers whether it is run by Mac OS or Windows.

According to Cnet.com, RBC Capital Markets has found that 76 percent of the 1,500 iPhone users polled from June 7 to 14 intend to use the iCloud service and 30 percent of those surveyed would purchase or spend the iCloud service of $24.99 per year.

My opinion to this is that I would love to use this service and be willing to spend $24.99 a year. If you are in a business, this will really mean a lot for you. This will serve as your server for all your needs like email, messages, contact, calendar, business data and everything can be synched and access in on iCloud services. I would really recommend this especially to Mac users as your files won’t be lost.

As market is concerned, I think iCloud will try to threat Google’s Andoid. My view on this is that they rebrand and will release iCloud because of the great potential of Android in the market. Right now, Phone and tablets providers have chosen Android OS over other mobile OS. Another thing is that, the team still wants to remain the retention of their loyal customers as it will really help to remain their customer and increase sales.

This all means that once you cannot always remain on the crest, that is why you have to do something with it.
