Video is where the real need for cloud storage lies
I have heard nothing but music talk every time I read rumors about the cloud service. A much more useful service would be housing the 100s of GBs in TV shows I have downloaded that won't even fit on my MacBook Pro. Being able to access those files through AppleTV/iPhone/iPad with out hooking up an external Hard drive is how I have envisioned it to work. Not to mention alleviate the massive storage constraints of owning a few seasons of your favorite shows.
In my opinion video is the real need for cloud storage. Most TV shows you watch once, then again maybe a year later to get ready for the new season. I may listen to the same music file 100 times in a year so I don't mind hosting that file on my hard drive, but holding 300 GBs of video files makes a 500GB HD disappear real fast.
