Apple Services could be sold to very different customers - those on Android and Windows devices.

  This assumes Apple can get their iCloud working properly. I've avoided pings from them in the past because their is no leadership in this area. ICloud has been a failure for multiple years. I'm not comparing management, but iCloud reminds me of the non-dropcam part of Nest - basically unable to deliver. I've been contacted by both for roles and just think why would one want to be part of a dysfunctional after thought?

    iCloud is ridiculously broken, and if you've ever tried to develop for it, you know its API is grossly lacking. But Apple has always refused to learn. They persist in regressive and amateur-hour policies, like this one: http://goldmanosi.blogspot.com/2012/06/forcing-people-to-use-e-mail-address-as.html http://goldmanosi.blogspot.com/2012/06/forcing-people-to-use...

    I agree that the iCloud brand has generally been a failure. Does anyone ever proudly use their @icloud.com address anywhere? MobileMe is considered an embarrassing failure by many, but I still see @me.com email addresses from time to time. But technically, iCloud is not really one "thing". iCal, Reminders, Notes and Photos work pretty well, whereas iCloud Core Data is an unsalvageable afterthought. Working on some parts might still be fun.
