No, of course not. And iCloud is not anything like Google’s offering where the cloud is in fact required (a google chrome tablet/netbook doesn’t work if it can’t access the cloud). Apple is positioning iCloud to be the antithesis of this, where the cloud is there to allow syncing and sharing the data that is stored and preserved on your machines. -- But just because you've seen me on your TV Doesn't mean I'm any more enlightened than you _______________________________________________ iPhone-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/iphone-talk
