Apple products may have more storage capacity, but the next big thing in Cupertino, California computer giant can eliminate much of the need to save songs, movies and other large data files.
Reports this week said that apple bought the iCloud of domain name in preparation for a push on the growing market for cloud-based services. Cloud computing allows users to store all the data on commercial servers and use the products and applications without buying them.

Sources said the site AppleInsider that the company will expand its MobileMe service currently allows bookmarks, events and other data to be stored outside, and Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June may be the place to launch a major cloud service initiative. A service improved cloud that includes photos, music, videos and other personal data not only attach Apple users in the iOS ecosystem but reduce the need for excessive flash on the future devices Apple, AppleInsider memory noted.

The iCloud reports seem to offer a range of possibilities for Apple continue his already massive take on mobile computing and media consumption.
The sky is the limit
"I expect"iCloud"will support many offers, ranging from online storage of files including iTunes, photos and videos and personal documents of streaming services similar to the CloudPlayer of the Amazon," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. Given the limits of storage of the iPhone and iPad from Apple, these services should be allowed by the customers of the company and could also inspire a generation of applications that rely on infrastructure of Apple. Sound glib, but given the size of the footprint of Apple in digital media, the sky is the limit for iCloud.
King said that instead of cutting off sales of music, films and television emissions are apps via Apple's iTunes, iCloud could be positioned as free for the download service.
"For years now, a constant complaint on Apple the difficulty of files backing up iTunes or restore the files after a device has decomposed or stolen," he said. "" "". Automatically store the iTunes files in a "locker" iCloud would effectively address this issue, to strengthen the symbiotic relationship between the company and its customers and drive years - or even stream of income for decades for Apple. ?
A new report by Forrester Research projects, the clouds for the public and private sectors market could explode to $ 40.7 billion this year to 241 billion by 2020.
