As a UK mobileme user, i definitely feel that we are losing out in a big way here....
With no itunes in the cloud announced for the uk yet it could be a case of sitting with 25GB of space but not a lot to sync to it!!
That on top of still using Snow Leopard i may be missing out on alot!!!![]()
Can I point out not just to you but to everyone that this is still in beta stages who says that apple will not launch something like airdrop to all devices? People are shouting about a service that has neither launched or had full details released.
You can set up iCloud on the devices that run OSX5 you do not need to upgrade from SL to Lion unless you want these to auto update. And these will sync to the cloud and you can then choose to use the cloud apps at www.icloud.com or you can set you accounts in your current address and ical that are unable to auto set up. these are as follows
In Mail p02-imap.mail.me.com:993
Mail out p02-smtp.mail.me.com:587
Calendar p02-caldav.icloud.com
Contacts p02-contacts.icloud.com
As for itunes in the cloud and itunes match again, wait and see what happens the fact we now have 90 seconds preview in itunes means that apple are working on things behind closed doors.
Apple have said that mobile me was not what it should have been, and these moves are to make the service better. I think only when the service has fully launched can people complain about it.
It is also your choice if you wish to upgrade to Lion or not, if you do not you can continue to use the services which you paid for and were advertised at the time you purchased it..
