So I am pretty psyched up about iCloud. Here are the things that are exciting to me, and I will use iCloud for:
- iTunes Match, and simply music
- TV Shows
- Movies (hopefully soon)
- Books
- Audiobooks (hopefully soon)
- Photostream, and possibly iPhoto
- Possibly iWorks
- Bookmarks
- Reminders
- Apps (of course)
- Find My Friends and Find My iPhone
What I am not excited about, however, and going to continue using Google for, are the following:
- Calendar
- Contacts
- Docs
- Bookmarks
- Picassa (though with no native iOS support, it is a moot point)
(It’s worthwhile to note that despite Apple’s infamous walled garden, iOS makes it really easy for me to use Google for the 4 services above. )
What I yet have to find a simple and seamless solution for is:
- Notes (more on why this is a problem later)
What do you think? What does it tell you about where Google (or Apple) excels and where it sucks? (Hint: Look closely at my lists above)
