Each user gets 5GB of free storage for mail, documents, and backup. Fortunately, purchased music, apps, books, and Photo Stream photos don't count against that total. iTunes Match is initially only available in the US and costs $25 per year for up to 25,000 songs; UK pricing and availability was yet to be announced as we went to press (we assume that it depends on negotiations with UK record labels). iCloud is expected to ship at the same time as iOS 5 in the autumn, although users of iOS 4.3 can try out a beta of iTunes in the Cloud now by launching the iTunes app and clicking on the Purchased button. According to an Apple support document, current MobileMe users have had their accounts automatically extended until 6 June 2012, at no charge. After that date, the service will be discontinued. MobileMe users will need to sign up for iCloud, and will be able to keep their me.com or mac.com email addresses. Once your iCloud account has been established, you can move your MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to your Cloud account. If you have an unused activation code for MobileMe, you can request a refund before 30 June 2012.
