Apple Announces iCloud and iWork For iOS

iONiUM writes "Through a press release ahead of WWDC, Apple has revealed that it will be releasing its own cloud service to rival Google and Amazon's. In addition, they will unveil the new iOS, and the latest desktop OS." Apple also announced the release of the iWork suite for iOS devices.

Looking forward to Lion

Autosave, Version and Resume are major improvements, and long overdue for desktop OSes.

When will there be too many "i"s?

I'm a huge Apple fan, but even I think this stuff with the "i" branding is just stupid and faintly embarrassing. Every Apple product has a fraeking "i" before it's otherwise utterly unimaginative name? "iCloud" - FFS.

I have seen all of them on other OSes, just not dressed up to look as pretty...

Honestly, I absolutely detest people like you. Based on your personal opinion of a few products, and the way a company is run by its upper >10%, you hope that a company that employs thousands of people around the world just up and fails? Sure, their products may not be the flavor you like, and you may disagree with their business model, but your sentiment, wether meant that way or not, Insinuates that you hope that thousands of people suddenly find themselves out of work, many of those in what amount to 3rd world countries, where the shitty pay they get from that business is still better than sitting in the gutter eating dog shit. Capitalism creates jobs, even if they are terrible jobs. But a terrible job may mean the difference between eating, and starving to death. No company is perfect, especially Apple, but in the real world, your sentiment that they just up and vanish is a wretched thing. So go take your 'anti-fanboiism' bullshit elsewhere.

If you ran the company, would you throw away the brand value of "i" just for the sake of being imaginative? When you here "i" anything, you know the product is Apple. Most companies would kill for that level of brand recognition.
