New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

11:36 am iCloud Storage API's!!!

apis is what i'm talking about

11:37 am Works on Macs and PC's too.

expected them to do an iphone thing and suggest some ridic stopgap as good enough.

as in tell developers they could use "HTML" to develop iphone apps

How is this all going to affect people with ISP monthly bandwidth limits, I'd like to know. Somebody's going to get some surprises on their cable bills.

if there's no sync for non-purchased music this will have been the cruelest joke

Srsly. I've purchased maybe one, maybe two dozen songs through iTunes and have no plans to purchase much more.

what about the mediafire cloud with all the free downloads for as long as you live- wiht never a charge

Looks like this is emphatically NOT streaming, which from their and AT&T's POV make sense as it would be a bandwidth killer. It just means you can sync stuff across devices and access any of your purchased music from any device any time.

yeah this is going to suck if this is it. bring on the google music shit.

BOOOOOO.

Jobs says all mentioned services are free.

"5GB of free storage for mail, docs, backups. Purchased music, apps, and books don't count towards that."

IMO syncing is going to be better than streaming. 3G is too ropey for streaming. Ever tried using the Soundcload app?

ok "one more thing"

Soundchoad.

boo

turdcloud

Ah, looks like they're using the "match" technology they acquired via Lala.com to address the "stuff not bought on iTunes" issue.

iTunes match - $24.99 a year

match service, upgrades all your stolen music to 256k drm free ACC....nice

that is cheap. like, $75 cheaper than I expected. does it only give you 5gb though?

"Apple charging one flat price, even for "20,000 songs.""

If he seriously thinks that's the upper limit...

lol @ sync all stolen music

so glad I don' thave to re-slsk stuff I got off napster at 160 or 128....

suddenly smug conscientious ID3 taggers got a whole lot smugger

What do I win?

"You too can upgrade your cheapass Ben Harper and She and Him songs!"

the question is will the new iphone support Friendster

This seems nice:

10:20 am Next feature: Resume, instantly resume where you were in an application after you quit it.
10:21 am Even works system wide, when you reboot all of your windows and apps return how they were.

On first glance this seems like the most annoying thing ever

I thought it was some sort of resume updated for those who frequently change jobs - like it automatically updates your resume when you get fired

hey so will i still be able to use this $25 thing with stuff that isnt available on itunes music store?

apple basically just owns the entire recording industry now, huh

No. Stuff that is on the store that you haven't bought via iTunes, yes. Stuff that is not in iTunes, no.

11:54 am Library is scanned and matched.
11:55 am Any songs that remain, you can upload.

I'll have probably 200 gigs that will remain.

:-/

Is iCloud already up & running? The App Store icon on my iPhone is now showing all the Apps I've bought that aren't on my phone.

Don't know if it came across but Steve sounded really really ill.

Don't get the difference between iTunes match and just wifi syncing. I guess you don't have to be at home for Match.

I bet Steve creates iBody for himself soon

:-(

lion @ £30

guess I should just upgrade to an MBP now then

wifi synching moves the files physically. match doesnt.

How do you mean? with Match you don't need to upload the file, but all the other devices still have to download. Only difference is whether it's a Mac at home sending them the file or the Cloud,

its amusing taht if you work someplace where people are using itunes you can all steal each others music all day - i wonder if the icloud will work in a similar way

is lion upgrade only from snow leopard or will it upgrade 10.5?

Snow Leopard only.

Apple's got the formal hoohah up on their site:
