I assume some features of iTunes (backing up for example) are only available when you connect your iPhone to your PC/Mac, but I know you can do some things over the wifi network, so I'm not sure. With the iCloud, you don't need a connection to your PC/Mac.

iTunes is an application you can run on your PC/Mac to play music,
synchronize material to your iDevice, manage your multi-media library,
backup your iDevice to your PC/Mac  and so on. It's also a store where
you can purchase or download multi-media material, such as podcasts,
music, videos, books and so on.

iCloud is additional storage over the internet you can use to backup
your iDevice, use as additional storage for your multi-media materials,
share materials and settings between multiple devices and so on.

There are about pages and FAQ's for both on the web and Google will let
you get to them straight away.

Philip,

This is not true, I use WiFi Sync and iCloud backup, have done since
both became available. I have this exact setup on two iPhone 5's and 3
iPad Mini's in our home.

All 5 devices WiFi sync without issue and all 5 backup to iCloud.

Once you enable and backup with iCloud, you will not have acess to
iTunes WiFi sync.  However, you can still use iTunes by connecting your
iPhone to your computer using the USB  cable.

     Hi,

     I am behind with things I need to do with my iPhone 4.

     I would like to do an I Cloud backup.

     When I go to the backup button, I get a message that iTunes will no
     longer automatically sync with my iphone.

     I can still do this manually, right?

     I would like to get an iPhone 5, but sure want to backup my iphone
     before I do any such thing.

     <sigh>

     I said I was way behind.

     Crystal
