I just touched the music icon on the IPAD for some reason and all of the music previously purchased from the ITunes store was there with little cloud icons next to each song. I had not downloaded the songs into the IPAD.<br /><br />When I tapped a cloud icon next to a song, the song started to play almost immediately. Fifty years ago, someone carrying that device around might have burned at the stake. The same would be true for movies and books purchased through ITunes. The ICloud storage option is very handy when dealing with a device that is considerably constrained for storage. My IPOD has far more storage for playing songs, movies, and audiobooks. <br /><br />For other items, the customer can store up to 5GB for free and then it becomes a paid service after 5 GB. I have no intention of storing anything that was not purchased originally from ITunes other than possibly digital photographs.

My only excuse for that lame move is that it was part of my first foray into self-directed portfolio construction and stock market investing in my entire life. (A few years later the markets blew up, providing me with another valuable set of lessons, hopefully of the once-in-a-lifetime variety!) <br /><br />Like you, I have been eyeing the new iPads. I have an iPod Touch which I love; basically it is a smaller version of the iPad Mini. The Air is tempting. <br /><br />I haven't jumped into the Cloud yet due to privacy and security concerns. For storing music, videos and books, it's probably fine. This entertaining clip highlights some concerns:<br /><br />http://cnettv.cnet.com/tech-trends-big-brother-must-love/9742-1_53-50151744.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
