iCloud

I have to say, I’m getting pretty jazzed about iOS5 coming out, and, more specifically iCloud. The video below was referenced by a Practically Efficient article that was building off a great article by David Sparks regarding how iCloud will be the future to proper mulit-platform computing. As David says in his article, when data just is then it doesn’t matter what device you’re working on.

Why the video? John Gruber makes it very clear that the reason why data can now just be is because Apple has worked its ass off to be a leader in open web technologies.
