Hello World. The consumer cloud computer unfolds.
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
icloud, today announces an affordable and easy to use cloud-based home server
with open APIs. Expect consumer electronics, software and online services to
make use of this new mass-consumer friendly online computer. The always-ON
computer opens up a new era where electronic devices easily can integrate and
make use of the cloud.
Linkoping, Sweden - February 26, 2010 - Today's launch of the icloud Ready
Program for the consumer electronics industry is a milestone in making it easy
to connect electronic devices to the cloud. The environmental friendly icloud
online computer is always-ON and offers consumers an easy way to provide, share
and manage content like music, photos and video for easy access from all kinds
of electronic devices that connect to the Internet. This includes devices with
popular platforms like iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile.
Daniel Arthursson, icloud's Founder and CEO says, "All these new kinds of
devices like flat-screen TV's, smartphones, digital photo frames and Internet
radios have amazing capabilities, but today its too complex and expensive for
most consumers to manage and setup their own home server. With icloud it's all
handled safely in the cloud and easy enough for mass consumer adoption; it will
be a break-through for the consumer electronics industry."
Already, anyone can create an icloud account free of charge. With icloud a full
remote management desktop is provided to handle the online computer and manage
uploaded files. Everyone receives 3 GB of free storage; premium accounts are
provided up to 100 GB. This enables anyone with a mobile phone to have 100 GB
right in their pocket.
