Not so fast!
Some of us need the exact opposite! I am a family of three that has 3 Macs, plus a Mac Mini in the ET center, 3 iPhones, 2 apple TVs, and an iPad. I want to FOREVER keep my gmail Apple ID so that all App/Media purchases sync across all macs/iDevices, but ALSO have our separate MobileMe IDs convert to separate iCloud IDs so that each individual Mac/iPhone gets its own calendars/IMAP mail/contacts synced.
P.S. and yes, the limit to 10 Macs/iDevices really pisses me off as I was thinking of getting a second iPad for myself, but it won't be able to have the Media synced.

You can use some iCloud features from a PC. However, you must have iOS 5 or OS X 10.7.2 to set up your account.
If they do add Snow Leopard support, I am willing to bet you will still need iOS 5 or Lion to set up your account before you can use it on a Snow Leopard Mac.
Welcome to my world. Actually, the world of hundreds of other people who have been posting about this problem for weeks on the Apple forums.
I really hope they sort this out soon. I will not be touching iOS5 or iTunes 10.5 until this is resolved. It's annoying enough to have multiple IDs now, I don't want to fark with things not syncing with the cloud.no way of merging apple ID'si have a gmail and me.com and would like to have just one ID!
Didn't see it mentioned, but Find My Friends is now live. I was linked from iCloud.com on my iPad.
I'm running iOS5 GM.
Looks pretty cool!

Go to www.apple.com/icloud/setup on any device and you get: "Hmm, the page you're looking for can't be found."
Gotta love it.

One other thing about mail on Mac 10.7.2
Once you have migrated to the cloud, if you use say two mobile me email or mac address the preference in Mail assumes its a cloud email address, if its a mobile me or mac address that you have not migrated over set up the mail account as normal the on the second screen you can select type of mail "mobile me" or "icloud" for it to put all the settings in....

Mobile Me seems really slow
I am using mail from my mac and it is really really slow to retrieve the mail and me.com seems to be slow to load mail too. something is happening!

Mail server delivery timeouts
I just hope once iCould is fully operational that the me.com smtp server timeouts finally go away. Over the past week, I've had tens of dozens of e-mails show up on the server anywhere from minutes to a day later than when they were sent. It's been quite maddening!
