iCloud.com Goes Live

iCloud.com Goes LiveiCloud

Apple continues to get ready for the iOS 5 and iCloud launch. Apple has just updated its iCloud.com website with a new login screen, which no longer says it's in beta.

But it still seems to be restricted to users to developers, though we're received some tips from our readers that they've manage to upgrade

Apple is also expected to rollout the MobileMe to iCloud migration page (MobileMe.com/move), which will allows you to migrate data from your MobileMe account to iCloud. As Apple had said in its FAQs, the migration process allows users to move Mail, Contacts and Calendar data to iCloud. Data from other MobileMe services like iWeb, iDisk and Photo Gallery won't be migrated, and would be discontinued after 30th June 2012. You also won't be able to sync Mac Dashboard widget, Dock items, keychains, signatures, mail account rules, mail smart boxes, and mail preferences.

After migrating to iCloud, MobileMe users get 25GB of storage, which includes the 20GB of storage that comes with the yearly plan that a MobileMe subscriber has already paid for and the free 5GB of storage offered to all iCloud users. Basically, it means that the migration process for MobileMe users doesn't incur any extra cost (until June 30, 2012).
