A few days ago, Apple finally put the final nails into MobileMe's coffin when it announced iCloud. As Steve Jobs himself joked, MobileMe got a reputation of being problematic. However, the services that Apple provided through MobileMe will now be available through iCloud, although they have been redesigned from scratch, according to Jobs. The new service is quite nifty, and might well capture the success of all of Apple's recent "i" product forays - iPhone, iPad et al. It allows you to sync mail, contacts, calendars, music, photos, documents (iWork) and apps. Any change you make on one Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac) are instantly reflected everywhere else. One great application of this is that the pictures you take on your iPhone are instantly available on your Mac and iPad. No more cumbersome uploading or emailing them! Although comparisons abound with Google Apps, this service is not really a team or "mobile collaboration" service. It is more a personal information manager on steroids.Â
