I have a NAS at home like I think a lot of 'techie' people do.  It's
incredibly useful and extends what you can do in terms of downloading,
proxying, sharing files with friends etc.  It's also the ideal platform
to run the Squeezebox Server/LMS from.

To be honest, I'd rather stream my music collection from my home server
to my mobile device instead of using a cloud service like Google Music
or Amazon, so that is my idea of a 'cloud at home'.

On the other hand, I do appreciate services like Last.fm and
Napster/Rhapsody/Spotify/Pandora etc and would want to see them continue
to be available on my home Squeezeboxes.  As far as mobile goes though,
I can already get Android clients for pretty much all of them.  I guess
a single unified portal would have appeal though.
