If Apple Inc. can uniquely keep its famous logo as a shape of apple, than it shall be not be so surprising to know that their much-anticipated new music service, iCloud, is nothing but a shape of a cloud. It was first discovered at the headquarters of Apple Inc. in San Francisco, where the host company has almost reached the final phase of preparation of its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). This internationally admired week-long conference will begin this Monday.
Apple Insider reported that it has seen across the building and witnessed a large banner placed in the lobby of Apple’s headquarters building. It was revealed that there were total three large logos placed on the banner, first for the upcoming Lion OS for Mac PCs, second for the latest version of its mobile OS which is iOS 5, and the last one for its new cloud-based music service iCloud. Shaping the iCloud’s logo, it was explained that the logo has a simple black outline at its silvery background. This is the first time that iCloud service is explored more than just a title name; it has been given a shape.
Confirming the month long suspicion, Apple confirmed this Tuesday that in its WWDC, it reveal a new service titled iCloud. Further the official addressing also stated that Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs, who had been on medical leave since January, will make a special appearance at the conference to deliver the keynote address.
It was just revealed today that Apple has finally signed the last of the four deals it was going to sign with major music companies regarding its iCloud service. Now all four major music labels, including Sony, EMI and Warner Music Group and Universal Group, are on board for Apple’s launch next week.
Apple’s iCloud will be a tough competitor to its recently released rival services from Google and Amazon. Since both of these companies were unable to get the music labels to sign deals, these services are somewhat limited to their potential. The key advantage for Apple to acquire these deals is that their users will not have to upload each song or album from their local servers to iCloud manually; rather their hard drives will be automatically scanned and given access to digital copies of those songs or albums on Apple servers. This feature is not available on either Google or Amazon’s service, where users have to manually upload the music.
