This is Apple’s Music iCloud
Apple for use in the user's mobile device iOS charging system, the system will automatically move the user's documents, purchased music, applications, photo albums and cloud backup system settings, etc., and then automatically pushed to all device users, the user Apple's smart phones, tablet PCs and desktop computers can simultaneously access the content. Each user can now get 5G of free storage space for music purchased from Apple, applications, and free e-books do not take up space charge cloud of high-capacity storage solutions, will launch this fall.
I think Apple’s music iCloud Is nice, not revolutionary. But I believe that Apple did not just want to solve the "cloud music", but broader, "says the content" and "cloud applications". But there are a variety of reasons for Apple to do so.
1.iTune sync bad experience. iPad and iPhone sales figures are very impressive, the PC bigwigs exceptionally jealous. It is simply summed up the success of Apple's product innovation, excellent user experience. But there is a serious problem on sync iPad, iPhone with iTunes: on different computers simultaneously, often there will be data loss situation. So, Apple is an urgent need for a "cloud services" manage content, so the contents of a list of authorized users on a remote server, users on different computers without worrying about data loss. I have always need to transfer ipad music to pc for backup, just in case.
2. Listen to music to online is not the main function of iPad, iPhone. Online music has become so popular nowadays, it has become the standard in smart phones, listening to music online through the network is not difficult to achieve. Apple does not have to go to war to separate deployment of the "cloud services" for online music.
3 iCloud prepare for the iTunes, but the goal is more likely to be the next generation iPad3 the "blue movie" and "high definition e-book."
Although iPad2 is thinner, but the resolution remained at the level of generation. It most likely to achieve a similar span iPhone4 improved screen resolution - from 1024 * 768 to 2048 x 1536 for ipad 3, which will become the first iPad3 portable Blu-ray quality level of equipment and library books. And these need to download large volumes of data center deployment, and even cloud services.
Of course, we also look forward to using iCloud backup file list of users to intelligently synchronize, greatly enhance the iTune sync experience. But if you have lots of songs on your pc, you can transfer music from pc to ipad like this.
Some industry sources, Apple's iTunes online music store from its inception in 2003, has sold about 15 billion songs, strong user base for Apple's iTunes Match is expected to become the next major profit growth point; and cloud storage service user a variety of computing devices are integrated together, will attract users to buy iphone, ipad, mac and other Apple products, lure users to collect their own "Apple family." If you don't believe it, wait and see.
