Yes, you're right, photos will be different with the photostream and all. It seems that the last 1000 photos you take on any iOS device or load into iPhoto (or Pictures Library on Windows) are distributed over wifi or Ethernet (not 3G) to iCloud and all other devices. It seems iCloud only stores these photos for 30 days but I don't believe they would be deleted from the iOS device they were taken on or the computer they were loaded onto. Other iOS devices have 30 days to take them out of the photostream if they want to save them on that device. Computers automatically keep all photos from photostream. If you miss the 30 days on your iOS device I guess one can always sync. >> Personally, I'm still worried about accessing the content we as a family >> have in 6 or 7 different account across many devices.

I'm happy to wait a while, these things take time, but you may be a bit more optimistic on this than me.
