Re: crapple whycloud
Its just simply a service that allows you to use any of your iTunes library on any apple device. Its a benefit if you have, lets say 20,000 songs, and you can't fit them all on your iPad or iPhone or iPod, it will allow you to reach them in the iCloud... initially through Wi-Fi, but potentially through 3G etc.. in the future.
Apple are investing heavily in this because they believe that this is how we will reach our music in the future.. instead of physical downloads of products, we source them from the cloud.
This could be another shrewd move by Apple. When they introduced iTunes, people said "oh we don't need another music player or mp3 shop".. but now iTunes the world's most popular music library.
Apple are good at understanding the market, and producing great looking products that work. They are also good at looking at existing product on the market, and wrapping them up in more "user friendly" packaging and targeting their customers.
And so what if they ripped off "Wi-Fi sync"? That's the fault of the guy not patenting his design, his loss in the cut-throat world of business.
