iCloud may not seem all that glamorous on the outside, but its aim and role in the overall user experience for Apple gadget owners is still in the foundation stages. I think it’s safe to say that iCloud will be the center point for much of what gets announced today as well. iCloud is the glue that Apple wants to use to bind iOS and OS X together.
I agree with Shawn. As I said last week on the podcast, today’s software announcements will be filtered through iCloud. The Mountain Lion demos will be about what the service is bringing to OS X, and the iOS 6 demo will heavily feature iCloud additions, as well.
