Yes some of the things are half-way available in one other ecosystem and that would be Windows 8.1 But then Apple has been superb over the years in bringing some already 1/2 done things to fruition properly. I fully expect to see that with the 2 new OS's and new apps coming in the fall. And iCloud is an oddity. I never got more than the free storage because it had so little actual use, never even came close to using all of it. Strangely enough some of the new things they talked about are actually revamps and re-releases of what we had with iDisk and MobileMe from a few years ago. > > And when are they going to fix the bloated nightmare that is iTunes, > returning it to music management and breaking out the sync functions > into a more effective and efficient app?
