Apple iTunes cloud services to be launched

The iTunes Appstore leaked accounts storm is brewing, but Boy Genius Report claims that Apple has far bigger ambitions with its App store. The report claims, courtesy some leaked slides, that the iTunes could soon offer a cloud based service. The slides show a three-fold strategy by Apple to conquer the clouds.

  • Wireless streaming of iTunes content (tunes and flicks) from Apple’s servers to your devices.
    • Your purchased content will be housed at Apple’s server farms and streamed to you. This ought to save some space on your iPhone.
  • Wireless streaming of content from your computer to your other computers or devices.
    • You can wirelessly stream content from one computer onto another. This seems to be an extension of iTunes Home Sharing feature that we have had since last year, for music.
  • And finally… Wireless syncing with iTunes.
    • Any changes you make to your devices such as notes, calendars, contacts, oh.. and apps will be synced wirelessly to your iOS devices. (So what the heck is my  $99 a year MobileMe going to be for?)
