Apple CEO Steve Jobs on Monday unveiled the company’s revamped strategy to cloud computing, showing off how users can create content and buy music from one computer or device, and have it all appear seamlessly on their other Apple devices without having to manually plug in and synchronize their devices any more.
Jobs took to the stage at the Moscone Center in downtown San Francisco Monday morning to a standing ovation.
He and his colleagues spent the morning detailing the the hundreds of improvements that Apple has been making to its personal computer operating system, its mobile device operating system, and its revamped online computing strategy.
The biggest change Apple revealed was its iCloud strategy, which replaces its MobileMe subscription service, which was plagued by inconsistency.
The new iCloud service is free, and it automatically synchs document, photo, music and book applications across multiple devices.
