i doubt icloud will support all the music ive downloaded throughout the years.
it must be linked to your itunes purchases some how

No it doesn't, it's something to hope for for someone like me who can't fit all of his music on his 32GB iPhone.
Oh, and your face seems boring.

I agree.
But I also agree with MacDawg.
If there is indeed nothing more to iCloud than a bunch of cloud storage, I will be a bit let down.
i dont think anything apple will announce will make us happy
face it they bring out incremental improvements not crazy updates
remember guys
copy and paste was a big deal at one of these events.
so true. I've learned not to get too excited or get my hopes up about Apple announcements.
Personally I like the idea. It will make it easier with multiple computers. I am VERY interested in the amount of storage available as videos take up a LOT of space on my HD. I would like to put them all in the "cloud" so I have room to put windows back on my MBP.
Hopefully it lives up to my expectations.
I can understand that someone in your situation would benefit from the cloud, but I think you may be in the minority. Most people don't have space issues.
Wait, do you listen to all 50GB of music regularly?
For me, the iCloud music library feature doesn't seem appealing.
I still have my 8GB iPhone 3G from '08 and i still have about 1.5GBs free. I have all the music i listen to frequently, all the apps i use frequently, subscribed to podcasts and iTunes U, all my photos, and i'll sync in a movie if i plan on watching one. But 8GB is ideal for me. I'll be upgrading to the iPhone 5, so 16GB is going to be an overkill for me, although i can't wait.
But i want to wait for 14 more hours before i make a decision.
I can not believe the number of people around here who still think that the music-sharing thing is the only thing iCloud will be.
3. What happens when the icloud turns into isunny skies? As with all networks, there is a chance it will go down at some point. What's the point if you can't access it? In order to be successful, there better not be any problems with connectivity!
I agree with the OP, icloud is BORING!!! If its just to have access to your music, then boring. But if it allows documents I can see that too. But there are desktop sharing programs out there where you can remotely access your home computer. I have no problem syncing my stuff to the iphone.
And to those complaining the 16gb is not enough memory for their music. Seriously, do you really listen to that much music? That has to be days and days worth of music.
What would make me more excited than icloud???
Wireless syncing. No tethering needed. Wireless charging would be awesome too. Truly remove the need to tether.
People always say this. In the end, it's all about choice. If I have 50 gigs of music, how do I pick which songs to sync? What if I don't want to sync my music every day to pick music that I want to listen to? Having all of my music allows me to forget about those "oh crap. that song is on my computer, but not my iphone" moments.
If we'll truly be able to stream from iCloud, I wonder how it's going to work with a data plan? You'd burn through a few gigs in no time.
Maybe Apple will add some device caching or we'll start seeing the iCloud Media plan start popping up at carriers.

Lol you ruined my hopes and dreams
thank goodness there is some amazing people in the JB community!Are you dumb? It's actually the environment getting polluted from all of the undiscovered forms of radiation that the iPhone put's off thus forming clouds. Kind of like acid rain.

Nailed it!
I can't believe everyone is going crazy over Twitter integration... Are you kidding me?
if it's not much more than what Google's Music Beta has been, i won't be impressed. Music beta is cool and functional but not something i'd actually find useful. If iCloud is much more than this then maybe. we'll see.

Haha well, obviously it's a little hard to listen to all 50GB, so I end up just putting the newest/the best to fill up those 16GB as much as I can. And it's a bit annoying having to delete apps and such to free space for music. I know that I go a little overboard with my music, and it's not really normal for many people to have so many albums, but that's kind of why I love my iPhone. The fact that I don't have to carry a device just to listen to music. Love the iPod integration. I was actually highly debating whether or not I should get a iPod classic, seeing as how my music library keeps growing, but I'll give iCloud a shot first. Who knows, maybe it'll be great, or maybe it'll just be a feature no one will touch. Either way, I'm stoked about cloud storage, especially if it's coming from Apple, which means that it'll be integrated into the OS.
By the way, you're a champ for being able to live with 8GB. I would probably sit there for days deciding what to put on my iPhone and what not to haha
