Email Message Sent to Some MobileMe Customers
Apple introduced iCloud-enabled iTunes synching starting in the summer of 2011. iCloud as a whole officially launched on October 12th. The company let us know at the time that MobileMe would shut down in June of 2012, and the company has provided a migration path for customers to convert their accounts to iCloud.
iCloud does both less and more than MobileMe. It provides most, but not all, of the data synching offered in MobileMe (the notable absence currently being Keychain synching), as well as support for Find My iPhone. It also offers online access to your Mac.com/Me.com email accounts, but it does not include iDisk, Apple’s online storage solution.
It adds the above-mentioned iTunes content synching, Photo Stream (Apple’s available-everywhere photo storage and access service), online storage of iTunes video content, iCloud document storage, and more. Apple’s iTunes Match also requires iCloud.
