It was common knowledge that at this time Apple is preparing to introduce their new music service called iCloud. Some observers argue that Apple's cloud-based service that would replace the function of iTunes, because the synchronization be done anywhere and not have to connect with one device only.
"Do not think about iCloud as the new MobileMe, because of the possibility iCloud as the new iTunes," said analyst John Gruber from Darin Firebal, as reported by Apple Insider, Monday (06/06/2011).
Gruber admitted that he knew only "a few minor features" about the special events planned to developers who will discuss the IOS 5 and iCloud.
However, Gruber speculates that iCloud possibilities that will replace iTunes as the "central store for almost all data"stored in the iPhone, iPod and iPad, transferring information to iCloud.
These services will affect MobileMe as well, like iTunes and MobileMe, an online store on the type of data they provide perceived overlap. For example, the current iTunes sync audio, movies and TV shows, iBooks, Store applications, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, notes, and all kinds of files are shared between the IOS application.
While presenting the concept sale including MobileMe cloud-based synchronization of bookmarks, contacts, calendar and files. Thus, if the service iCloud is a backup of iTunes to the IOS device, it can be ascertained MobileMe would not be desirable.
