However, here's the kicker for this. I just attempted to sign up for the beta with my Apple ID and it is only accessible from an Apple device. I think this is a huge mistake, just like the huge mistake they made of closing off their video conference service Facetime. Services like this, if it is to succeed in the true sense of today's technology, it should be open. I was a fan of Apple for a time there, I still LOVE my MacBook and would LOVE to own an iMac, but I HATE, I HATE how closed Apple is in their products. And that is why I will continue to use Android and Linux. So frustrating...
