Apple in the cloud

I would say this is a necessary step in the evolution of apple’s ecosystem.  Historically, though, Apple hasn’t done great with cloud-based offerings (I’m thinking mobile.me and the HTML5 demo debacle).  Still, I’m hopeful:

One of our reliable Apple sources has just filled us in on some of the company’s iTunes plans, and they’re exciting. We have been told iTunes will be getting a huge cloud capability that many people have been asking for (and logically thought would happen sooner or later). These new capabilities are broken down into three groups:

1. Streaming music and movies from Apple’s servers to your computers, devices, etc.
2. Streaming music and movies from your home computers to your other computers, remote devices, etc.
3. Wireless iTunes syncing with devices
