Anyone who has a MobileMe account should be aware of the fact that this will no longer be available from the 30th of June 2012. All those who have an account have had their service automatically extended until June 30th 2012 at no additional cost but after that it will no longer be available.

Apple’s iCloud will be available in the autumn and will be free for iOS 5 and OS X Lion users. When users sign up for iCloud they will be able to keep their me.com or mac.com email addresses and move their MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars and bookmarks to the new service.

iCloud includes all the features that were previously available in MobileMe along with some additions too. These additions include online apps such as the online contacts and mail apps which have been written from scratch taking into account everything that was learned from MobileMe.

iCloud also has heavily enhanced synching. With iCloud important files such as documents and pictures can now be synced across different devices. iWork is also available which will allow users to edit documents over this service and view the changes in real time.

iCloud will also allow data such as settings, books, pictures, video and even Apps to be backup up and shown across all your devices too. iTunes is also available and this service will allow any newly purchased content to be automatically synced over the air to up to 10 devices. For your already purchased content you will have the option to download each song, app or book individually.

iCloud will be made available this autumn and it is going to be completely free. There is a 5GB limit and purchased items and Photo Steam won’t add to this. Whether this service will success or not is yet to be seen but it sounds promising.
