iCloud
iCloud is a service that stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and
supported documents. Content stored in iCloud is wirelessly pushed to your other iOS devices
and computers set up with the same iCloud account.
iCloud is available on iOS devices running iOS 5, on Macs running OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later,
and on PCs with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or
Windows 7 required).
