No synching of Safari tabs and links? That's a disappointment.

Bookmarks sync, but no browser sync. Honestly, I almost prefer it that way--my Mac browser usage is very different (and work-related) from my iPhone and iPod touch.

What if your library is more than 25k songs (more like 50k+)? Is there a Match program for larger libraries?

Apple really needs to offer iCloud support on Mac OS X 10.6!! Not everyone wants to or is ready to upgrade to Lion.

Some parts will, some won't. Documents in the cloud certainly won't - it'd require a major rewrite. But I'm guessing you'll still be able to use mail, calendars, todos, and the like in Snow Leopard.

My wife and I share a purchasing account with Apple. But we don't want to share each others address book and calendars, therefore we each need an ID.

How is this going to work as far as keeping our iPhone apps up to date?

So, wait. I have to upgrade to Lion to get iCloud? Now that means I have to upgrade MS Office if I go to Lion. And Office has just gotten more useless (er, powerful) as time goes on. Why does Apple want me to spend more money with MS? How hard was it to continue to allow pre-Intel programs to run? Isn't it all just software foolin' the hardware anyway?

-- so, iCloud would not be active under Snow Leopard?

[Raja_Hornstein]

Can you have an iCloud account without Lion? I synch my calendars through Mobile Me with someone using Snow Leopard. Will that still be possible with iCloud?

Does having iTunes match mean I can free up all the storage space taken up by my iTunes songs (movies?) stored on my iPhone?

Yes, clearly that's the logical conclusion to arrive at.

If the company licensing Rosetta doesn't want to license it anymore, it's pretty much impossible. I suppose trivializing the difficulty of it helps build a case against Apple though.

I wonder if the additional space in iCloud by purchase can be used to run a website if you have your own domain name and just forward it. I run a couple of sites from my MobleMe space, is that option going to go away?

Okay here's my dilemma and paranoid concern...

My iTunes account is used by my wife's iPad, her iPhone, my iPad, my iPhone and her parent's iPhone (which we pay for).... However, we each have our OWN mobileme email address...

So... When I take a photo, is it going to everyone on the iTunes password or only to my stuff that's using my mobileme email??

Last think I'd want is naughty photos that I'd send my wife to land in my inlaw's photo library... lol...just can't imagine that going well...
