The iTunes app now has the same option. Pretty cool.

Thanks for the review. I think you meant itunes 10.3 beta and not 10.5 beta.
I read about the reminders app this morning in the Daily. I am looking forward to seeing how in integrates with the To Do app I use, which syncs via toodledo.
I do subscribe to several magazines (Time and Wired, because the iPad version is free with my print subscription; The Daily, the New Yorker, and Bloomberg Businessweek. It would be really nice not to have to constantly go to the app to check for new issues.
The link for iTunes 10.3 beta is finally up on the apple site, I downloaded it this morning. itunes is exactly the same, except there is just a buttom for Purchased in the Store section. I only wish it would let me restore tv/movies I have bought in the past, but the music backup of purchases is awesome!
Strange that it would jump by 2, when the newest beta that dropped last night was 10.3Beta. OR is 10.5Beta the iPAD itunes App version?
What about those songs you ripped from a CD? I think I have only bought one album off of iTunes, every other song I have on iTunes comes from my own CDs
If you subscribe the the $25 a year add on it will scan you computer for all the music and listen to all the music... if that song is available on iTunes you will automatically be given a 256kbs version of that song from itunes at no extra charge.
That is stupid. I have to pay another $25 for music I already own so I can access it in iCloud even though it is already on the device to begin with? What's the point of that when you can simply sync for free?
I still don't see any useful purpose for iCloud in general anyway, unless I am missing something. Your iTunes library is already on your device and syncing, particularly with the new PC Free feature, is so much more efficient.
Its not stupid. You get higher quality music then most of the audio you have now... And CD's you ripped are now legal files downloaded from iTunes. I think its a bargain.
You don't have to pay anything and you get 5 GB storage for your files. (iTunes purchases do not count against your 5GB of space.)
Agreed. The $25 is for uploading FILES you have NOT purchased from itunes. As Scott said, those are available automatically, and do not count against your space. I think the idea of iCloud is a good one, and look forward to being able to easily transfer files wirelessly from my iPad to my mac without having to go through a dropbox upload each time.
AND I love having access to everything I have ever bought from them in terms of music and apps; that is better than a CD backup.
Does anyone know how I register my UDID for my iPad?
I do have a iOS developer account... I just can't find where to add my UDID so that I can install the iOS5 beta.

I think you have to pay the $100 developer fee to download the iOS5 software. I have developer access to xCOde, but can't get the iOS5 update.
In other words, Apple sells you the warm and fuzzy feeling of being legal with all your Napster collection for $25/year.
While labels don't get a penny. I'd surprised if this goes down unchallenged...

I am still missing the whole point of this.
You already have it on your PC. It is already sync to your devices. You have it on CD as well. Every time you sync your device it automatically transfers your purchases between devices. I see no purpose is being able to access my music on an outside server. Most people already have the music on their device, why do they need to access the same music from iCloud?
My current ripped music are legal files saved on iTunes (they are CDs I have purchased over the last 20+ years), WMP, my PS3, my iPhone, my iPad, and 3 different computers. Syncing is very easy with homesharing.
Thats why Apple worked with the labels to license all this stuff BEFORE they announced iCloud.
Are you saying this is blessed by the labels?
I'd expect this fact (if true) to be explicitly mentioned...
Diogen.
Take a look at all the signings last week for Apple.
Do you see any labels upset? They got a nice payday from Apple... they are happy.
Now I hear the labels are not happy with Google and Amazon who didnt give them a cent for their cloud services...
Which ones do you think they will go after?
