We have been hearing a lot of buzz about Apple's iCloud lately, but with all the chatter it can get a little foggy. So here are the basics about the new Apple iCloud.

So what is the Apple iCloud?

- The Apple iCloud is a cloud based data storage and management platform.

What does the iCloud do?

- It automatically stores your data in the cloud and shares it effortlessly between all of your devices.

- Keeps all of your contacts, calendars, and email constantly updated between your devices.

- Includes your Photo Stream: a continuous stream of your most recent 1,000 photos.

- Provides an easy way to backup and restore your data (apps, settings, text messages, music, etc.)

Is iCloud right for me?

- If you have used MobileMe then you will probably love this, because iCloud is a rebranding of MobileMe

(with improvements)

- Do you have several Apple devices with lots of apps and music from iTunes? If so, then this might be a right

fit for you. If you have a PC, that’s ok  too because iCloud works with PC's as well. (Supposedly)

- If you are a diehard Apple fan, well, you know you are going to love it.
