Drooling for it

Rico says Nick Bilton has an article in The New York Times about the upcoming release of Apple's iCloud:
Apple posted information on its website that offers more details about the company’s upcoming iCloud software, which will sync customers content between multiple devices.
iCloud, which is expected to launch this fall, will allow Apple customers to share their music, books, music, and photos between multiple computers and mobile devices, including an iPhone and a desktop computer. The company will also back up this content in the Cloud.
Apple said that customers would be given five gigabytes of storage for free. Customers needing more space will be able to purchase additional storage in yearly chunks. Ten gigabytes of additional space will cost $20 a year, twenty gigabytes will cost $40, and fifty gigabytes will cost $100, the company said.
But don’t worry about having to shell out more money to Apple, as most customers will not need to upgrade. Apple noted on its website that applications, books, and music, will not count against the five gigabytes of free storage, but Mail, iWork documents, photos, and account settings will count towards the iCloud storage. A user could expect to store more than a thousand photos at no cost.
Apple also activated the iCloud.com web site. The site is currently being used for Apple developers to start building third-party applications using the iCloud application programming interface, or API.
