Can you give me some example of 'cloud' services? Aren't they web application/services? And Apple classifies iPod touch as portable music player/gaming device

And Apple classifies iPod touch as portable music player/gaming device and not 3.5" tablet.
- kenjackson 16y agoCloud services don't have to be web services, although it is becoming more common that they are. FTP sites are often hosted for a single user or small group of users who host and maintain the site. They own the burden of full site upkeep. It's not something that sits in this "cloud", but its a service on the internet that they maintain. There's another thing that is implicit about cloud services, which is why I choose the FTP example, which is that the content on the service that is of most value is the content you, the user put in the service. So CNN.com, while a service on the internet, isn't generally considered a cloud service. Whereas FaceBook, Flickr, and GMail are examples of cloud services.
- allenp 16y agoThere are many cloud services not tied to the web - an example is a service that replaces tape backups (for enterprise data) by letting you stream the data to an online service.
