    iCloud : Personal Cloud for iPhone, iPad, & iPod touch

    Apparently, Apple has offered iCloud which is a set of services that the company is testing right now. Its aim is to integrate both iOS 5 and in Mac OS X Lion. Another important fact is that iCloud consist simply of a new distribution strategy of songs from the iTunes Store, but most fields cover the entire ecosystem of data iOS and Mac OS X: Calendars, contacts, folders, tasks, music, videos, etc. You would have almost all your data in the cloud thanks to Apple's own servers.

    iCloud is the evolution of MobileMe. A new set of free services in the cloud that allows us to keep our information and content on all our devices, automatically and without wires, integrating seamlessly with iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC. iCloud is responsible for storing the information of your mobile devices and computers to keep them synchronized, detecting when there is a change in one of them to update all other wirelessly almost instantly. Have a look on the features below.

    To get started with iCloud you do not required anything. All you need is an web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Each registered user of the service for free offer 3 GB of free storage space and about three dozen different applications, which we describe below a bit more. The registration is also easy. According to the creator’s iCloud, the system automatically creates a daily backup of user data, and thus the risk of losing stored on company servers Xcerion data has been virtually reduced to zero. Also, the developers of service guarantee the security of user information and protect it from viruses and other malicious software modules. To copy files from this computer into a virtual protocol supports WebDAV, and how to configure it in detail in the documentation for iCloud.

    Features :
    1. iTunes in Cloud : With iCloud, the music you purchase in iTunes appears automatically on all your devices. You can also download your past iTunes purchases. Where you want, when you want.
    2. Photo Stream : With iCloud, when you take a photo on one device, it automatically appears on all your other devices. No syncing. No sending. Your photos are just there. Everywhere you want them.
    3. Documents in Cloud : If you have the same app on more than one device, iCloud can automatically keep your documents up to date across all your devices. So you don't have to.
    4. App, Books and Backup : iCloud makes sure all your devices have the same apps. And books. iCloud also backs up your information. So if something happens, it can help save the day.
    5. Contact Calendar and Mails : iCloud stores your email, calendars, and contacts and automatically pushes them to all your devices. So you can switch from one device to another and still go about business as usual.



    What does iCloud offer ?

    iTunes in the cloud allows you to download the music you have previously purchased on iTunes on all your devices without additional cost, and if you like the new songs you buy will also automatically download all of them. The same applies to applications from the App Store and iBookstore books, which are automatically downloaded to your devices, not just where they were purchased (if payment was not better for you.) In addition, the App Store and iBookstore let you now see your purchase history divided into categories to re-download any you've had in the past but deleted it in all your devices (up to a maximum of 10 devices).

    Photo Stream automatically upload the pictures you take or you import any of your devices by sending them to rest so that, for example, if you take a picture with your iPhone, when you get home you will find the reel in your iPad well as the iPhoto library on your Mac and saved to the Photos folder in Windows. To save space, Photo Stream follows three different policies when it comes to storing photos, Macs and PCs stored all the photos you take, the IOS device, usually with less space than a computer, just store the last 1,000 photos can move to an album that we want to carry around permanently, and finally, iCloud saves photos taken during the past 30 days, enough time to connect your devices to be automatically downloaded via Wi-Fi.
    • 3 GB of disk space on a server iCloud for storing user files
    • More than 30 free applications to work with office documents, email, music, videos, etc.
    • More than 20 free widgets
    • More than 20 games
    • Back up user data

    Images that you shoot with the iPhone migrate by Photostream iCloud in which, once the device is attached to the Internet via WLAN. There they will be saved for 30 days. Should they be constantly available, you have to pack them in an album. On the unit for the most recent 1000 pictures available. Mac or PC, however, save all images permanently.

    Re: iCloud : Personal Cloud for iPhone, iPad, & iPod touch

    An Evolution of MobileME

    The old service MobileMe, Contacts, Calendar and Mail, has been completely redesigned and rewritten to work seamlessly integrated with iCloud. It is unclear whether they will enjoy a web interface as far apart from performing a synchronizing function, but we know that Apple to subscribe to receive an account iCloud xxxxxx@me.com push type (i.e., whenever the server receives an email, it pushes up our devices without waiting for these will ask whether or not new messages) that Always keep updated our mailbox along iOS all our devices and computers. The same goes for the phonebook contacts and calendars, which we share with other user’s iCloud to set an appointment with a client or strain the fixture list for all members of our team. When someone edit or add an event, iCloud update it, the calendars of all others.

    Many new features iOS 5 as reminders or Reading List feature in Safari will offer the same degree of synchronization between devices that calendars and contacts. Reading List in particular still makes more sense, because if you can make web pages and news for later reading is interesting, to mark the iPhone and read later in the iPad or Mac will be a delight.

    iCloud Backup & Storage

    iCloud Backup backs up your IOS device automatically every day through the Wi-Fi when you put a load. The content is backed up with music, apps and purchased books, photos and video reel camera, device settings, data apps, the organization of the startup screens and folders, SMS and MMS and ringtones. If you suffer an accident or substitute our other IOS devices, we only have to enter our Apple ID and password for their own safety to take care of restoring iCloud making it ready to start working as usual. In my opinion, is the real novelty iCloud star.

    Storage iCloud stores all documents in the service-enabled applications automatically synchronizing all the devices when making any modifications. At the moment we know that Pages, Numbers and Keynote will benefit from this feature and that developers can easily adapt their applications to do the same. iCloud includes 3 GB of free storage in the cloud and extend it even be possible, a priori satisfy the needs of most users and that only stores emails, documents iCloud Storage and backup. The music, apps, books and photographs of Photo Stream does not consume the total space of 3 GB.


    How iTunes will work with iCloud ?

    The iTunes service in the cloud automatically syncs the songs you purchased from the Apple store but you can enjoy the same benefits with the rest of your need to use iTunes Music Match. The pay service analyzes your library looking for songs available from 18 billion songs from the iTunes store and replaces a version with 256 kbps AAC encoding without DRM (presumably in case yours has worse quality will retain at least that of the iTunes library on your computer). Thanks to this, the cloud passes iTunes to sync all your songs and does not need to climb as it has identified because it does, it will increase by only a small percentage of songs that will not be able to identify and marry the iTunes music Store saving us a considerable amount of time.

    Desktop of iCloud

    The configuration options have little or nothing to envy to a desktop system. Task Manager , Time Zone options and even the language (no support in Spanish) can be adjusted iCloud. It even has a console system that accepts various DOS commands, ideal for those looking to get out of hand. iCloud has preliminary support for widgets, located on a sidebar to the right of the screen. You can also see typical applications as an equivalent to WordPad, an image viewer, video player and even a compatible with MSN Messenger . As additional feed reader, access to Google Maps, and a browser (yes, a browser "within" another through iCloud). Find a program for creating slide shows, but seems to lack some readers iCloud files such as PDF.

    According to its developers, iCloud is in alpha state and is likely to find several bugs in the road. In fact, right now iCloud is incompatible with Mozilla Firefox , but developers are working on that point. Currently, the best option to use the Internet Explorer iCloud. We tested the system with version 8 of the browser and we had no problems so far. It is also noted some lack of optimization that exist on server’s iCloud. In their official website had an ad that warned users of "excess burden" on the servers, resulting in slower response times. And also, the factor of the Internet connection cannot be ignored. While iCloud attempts to minimize the bandwidth usage, load a file system depends on the upload speed of the connection, which in many cases is often problematic.


    Conclusion

    Apple has built only three data centers to deploy iCloud, the latter of which recently completed Maiden (NC) with an investment of over $ 500 million to support the claim that the company expects customers for its new cloud services, so definitely yes, there will be for everyone. iCloud all a user's files stored on Apple servers and sends it automatically to all registered users of the devices. Data synchronization is no longer necessary, "said Steve Jobs, which" makes us crazy. Photos of the iPhone will automatically migrate to the Mac, music from Mac to the iPod - all triggered via push notifications. In addition, the service also sends documents such as in Pages or Keynote, to all devices on which each program is also installed.

    Also one point you must that iCloud is not a place where you can copy your files in a box. It is not like a Time Machine in the cloud, which gives you a full backup of all your Mac or PC nor you can synchronize any application document which will be updated later on. Although it would be a clear movement towards future improvements, it appears that neither allow iCloud check your email, contacts, calendars or photos via a web service on your computer from a friend or outside.
