Boy Genius Report has it that Apple are finally ready to make a serious push into the cloud. I had expected them to show something off at WWDC given how poor they look in this area, but at least we're hearing about their plans now now.

Anyway, it's nothing unexpected, mostly just a fleshing out of what Lala offered and some eagerly anticipated features like wireless syncing. Expect it to be impossibly slick, and marketed as the second coming. It'll be interesting to see if Apple also decide to shake up Mobile Me, which is pretty weak tea once you figure out Google's Gmail, Calendar and Contacts Exchange support and sign up for a service like Dropbox.

A prediction: it'll launch as iTunes Live at a music event this Autumn, alongside some new iPods.
