Apple has created three new apps for iCloud. It has also announced that APIs for iCloud will be released to app developers. It's possible that non-Apple apps will be able to take advantage of iCloud features. Documents in the Cloud This app uploads Pages, Numbers, and Keynote documents to the cloud for syncing. For example, if you create a Keynote presentation on an iPad, Documents in the Cloud stores that presentation. Then, ifyou have an iPhone that syncs to the same iCloud account and that iPhone has Keynote, that presentation is available for editing on the iPhone. Photo Stream This app enables you to take photos on any device and uploads them to sync with your other devices (for example, your iPhone shots appear on your iPad). Photo Stream also works with iPhoto on the Mac, and supports the secondgeneration Apple TV.
Because photos are so large, Apple says that photo syncing works over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and Photo Stream has a limit of the last 1,000 photos on iOS devices (unlimited on Macs and PCs). Photos remain on iCloud for 30 days after you upload them, but you can save them permanently on a device by moving them to a new or existing album. iTunes in the Cloud The last new app is iTunes in the Cloud. For songs you've already purchased from the iTunes Store, there's a Purchased button that shows your entire purchase history of songs (purchased on any device). You can view by all songs, recent songs, or by artist. You can then download any song or album with the touch of a button. ifT his is the first time we've seen this in the music industry," said Jobs. "No charge for multiple downloads on many devices." You can download music to up to 10 devices, and you can also enable an Automatic Downloads feature that will grab any new purchases you make on other devices.
