Universal Studios' Movies Now Available on iCloud

[ixodes]

But who in their right mind would pay $10.00 for a file ?

Titan A.D. ????

It bombed in the Box Office

Saw it in the 3.99 bin at the Grocery store. Even then it's a hard sell.

Greed, Greed and more Greed

For less than $10.00 you can get Netflix for a month :/

I agree with your points.

iCloud is a system designed to cash in on the "Cloud Computing" craze, and another very robust income stream for Apple. Sold to us using typical warm and fuzzy terms, hyped as only Apple can do, it does serve it's purpose. Free? yes for a somewhat limited, Apple controlled experience. The pay version is the gateway to all things Apple in their proprietary iCloud.

While it has it's pros and cons like anything else, only time will tell if Apple "Get's It" this time, and does a better job than what Jobs labeled as a failure: MobileMe.

I do hope Apple succeeds, since they have a lot riding on this, and they have already backed themselves into a corner (so to speak) by all the boasting Apple has done about it's features. Only time will tell.
