Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I used the term iSync because the way iTunes downloads your contents across all your devices, and not store them in a remote server, is more like a sync process than cloud. I actually got the iSync term from a tech podcast I was listening to yesterday. Don't strain yourself trying to understand this. Remember, iOS 5 is not going to be available till at least September. Lots of things can change between now and then. You can still sync your iTunes media to 10 devices. Let the so-called cloud enter your world when it is actually available.
