It's getting cloudy

Another day, another cloud is here. This time it is the iCloud. Since Apple is the company that most people are watching I thought it was time to take a quick minute and think about what we are about to get. 

Any 'cloud' is essentially a buzz word for a big pile of servers that holds your data. It's not just one computer your data sits on. It's a whole bunch. You can call it what you like, 'cloud' doesn't matter. How you see a cloud workng is entirely up to you. What I see is devices that just add and take data from your cloud, your friends clouds etc and the cloud just holds them and pushes and pulls data between devices. Essentially you can just pick up one device and carry on where you put down the other. Perhaps this is a service that is cloud based? It seems cloudy ehough for me!

So far this sounds excellent, so long as the network that keeps the data up to date quickly enough so I can put down my phone and pick up the iPad and carry on exactly where I left off. Here's hoping it is as good as I think it can be.
