iOS5 and iCloud: A Follow-up

Here is my wishlist of what would be announced today.

Let's see if Apple likes me...

Notifications
Check!

iCloud: Better Not Just Be MobileMe + Music
Check! The built-in sync across apps and devices is definitely a noteable improvement. Also, free.

iCloud: Better Not Just Be Dropbox
Check, again! When I stop to think about it, there was nothing that I wanted iCloud to do that developers couldn't have done with Dropbox. But, much like Game Center when there was already OpenFeint, I'm sure we will see a slew of updates in "the fall" which will introduce over the air syncing of our favourite apps. Although there is one thing that iCloud will be able to do that Dropbox can't: background syncing!

Wi-Fi Sync to iTunes
Check! Funnily enough, as someone who syncs their iPhone every day, I'm almost most excited about this than anything else. Pair that with over the air backups and my iOS devices and my MacBook Pro will barely have to ever meet.

So, four out of four. Thanks Uncle Apple!
