Apple has confirmed that it plans to unveil a service called iCloud at its Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco on June 6. CEO Steve Jobs, who remains on medical leave, will be on hand for the unveiling. The Company will also announce upgrades to several operating systems.
Apple did not reveal the purpose of the service but many observers believe it will be a music-streaming operation. Apple’s announcement merely calls it a “cloud services offering.”
Unlike iTunes – under which music tracks and albums are sold to the user for a once-only payment – Apple’s service could stream unlimited music to the user’s device for a monthly subscription.
Online storage and backup features could also be involved – though Apple already has this kind of service dubbed MobileMe. Or it might even offer online applications to compete with Google Docs and Apps.
In addition to iCloud, Apple said it will detail its next-generation desktop operating system, Mac OS X Lion, as well as iOS 5, the next version of the mobile operating system running on its iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
“Apple CEO Steve Jobs will open the company’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) with a keynote address on Monday, June 6 at 10:00am when the he will announce, Lion, the eighth major release of Mac OS X; iOS 5, the next version of Apple’s advanced mobile operating system which powers the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch; and iCloud, Apple’s upcoming cloud services offering.”
