What We Know About iCloud -

Now that the Labor Day holiday is behind us here in the U.S., fall is fast approaching and that can mean only one thing: iCloud time! Ever since iCloud was previewed at WWDC 2011, iOS device users have been staring at their current devices, longing for some cloud syncing magic, so let’s recap what we know about iCloud so far.

On the surface, iCloud is Apple’s new attempt to right the early wrongs of MobileMe, the annual service for keeping vital contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more synced between computers and iOS devices. First launched in 2000 as iTools, reborn two and a half years later as .Mac and ultimately rolled in MobileMe in 2008, iCloud is the culmination of years of hard work on Apple’s part to make life easier for its users.

Whether you own a Mac, iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, iCloud promises to change the way you access your data across devices -- especially when it comes to adding a new device in the future. Here’s a look at what to expect based on the information Apple has made available.
