What is iCloud in simple words

        iCloud is the brand new technology launched by Apple Incorporation. Today internet is everywhere. Since most people have at least two devices like a computer and a phone. If one wants to maintain his data such as music, calender, address book and emails synchronized across all his devices, it will be a routine which increasingly becomes tiresome.

       This synchronization can be achieved with the use of internet. Nowdays you will get all the media you buy in digitized format so that it can be consumed on devices like phone, ipad, ipod and other computers. Consumers always expect that if they buy a song or book or movie, it should be available on all his devices immediately. He does not want to buy it again for each device they own or copy the dtaa from device to device. The best way is moving everyone's data or media into the cloud so that it does not need to be copied from device to device. Google and amazon launched services that allow users to upload their music into the cloud for access from any device.

        One of the objective of this technology is to reduce the overheads of uploading process.Apple wants to allow users to upload only legally purchased music. But it is not possible to decide whether the music is pirated or not. Since the pirated music cant be detected so that top music companies have have decided to at least make some bucks out of this drawback. Apple has made a deal with major music companies and the result is iTunes match.

         iTunes match is is a $25 per year and US only service.While uploading music iTunes match looks at your entire music library and compares with the 18 million songs in its database. If it finds a match it automatically upgrades that that song and makes it available to all your Apple device which will avoid the the data uploading overheads. For the rare songs you own Apple does not recognize ,you can upload them manually.
