Steve Jobs announces Apple’s next big thing called iCloud at Apple’s WWDC
Cloud computing is and will be the next big thing in the computing world. Everyone is talking about the power of cloud computing and how it will change how we run our lives in the future. In line with the future of Cloud computing, Steve Jobs has announced Apple’s next big thing at Apple’s WWDC called the “iCloud”. This will be Apple’s next big thing that will differentiate Apple’s products even more as compared to their competitors like the Android or Blackberry.
iCloud’s ability to automatically and seamlessly integrate and synchronize not just data, but the applications across various devices is likely going to impress the already loyal customers to the Apple products.
Once you are used to having your contacts, calendar, emails, music and apps managed through the iCloud, it’s going to be awfully difficult to change or make a switch to a different platform. This is how Apple intends to make sure an Apple user becomes a hardcore Apple fan.
In addition to that, all this comes with a price point that is pretty difficult to resist – free. This feature is also not easily duplicated as well since the Android platform is much more fragmented. Moving forward, with the iCloud, all data will be stored and backed up, songs, photos, emails, calendar, contacts and other info will be updated wherever you are. Let’s wait till Fall 2011 to see if iCloud is as good as mentioned…… :-)
