based home server with open APIs. Expect consumer
electronics, software and online services to make use of this
new mass-consumer friendly online computer. The always-ON
computer opens up a new era where electronic devices easily
can integrate and make use of the cloud.
LINKOPING, Sweden, Feb. 26, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today's launch of
the icloud Ready Program for the consumer electronics industry is a
milestone in making it easy to connect electronic devices to the cloud.
The environmental friendly icloud online computer is always-ON and
offers consumers an easy way to provide, share and manage content like
music, photos and video for easy access from all kinds of electronic
devices that connect to the Internet. This includes devices with
popular platforms like iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile.
Daniel Arthursson, icloud's Founder and CEO says, "All these new kinds
of devices like flat-screen TV's, smartphones, digital photo frames and
Internet radios have amazing capabilities, but today its too complex
and expensive for most consumers to manage and setup their own home
server. With icloud it's all handled safely in the cloud and easy
enough for mass consumer adoption; it will be a break-through for the
consumer electronics industry."
Already, anyone can create an icloud account free of charge. With
icloud a full remote management desktop is provided to handle the
online computer and manage uploaded files. Everyone receives 3 GB of
free storage; premium accounts are provided up to 100 GB. This enables
anyone with a mobile phone to have 100 GB right in their pocket.
