The generation of random email addresses for the accounts are a really neat and interesting feature I'm glad some privacy centered companies are trying out.
I've seen comments here on HN from people that has implemented systems like this on their own and it seems to have been quite successful, making it possible not only to hold better keep privacy but also to identify what company leaked/sold your data. I don't have the time to do this myself but would be interested if some company made this an easy to use feature. It is time identity and got a bit separated from things like email on the Internet. Most companies has been shown to not hold on to our information with the respect it deserves.
All in all I like that such a large company as Apple is taking the privacy thing and running with it. Even though I am not a costumer of theirs I have to say things around the security topic has always been their strong suit. Together with Firefox privacy maybe has a chance to become a bigger topic in the mainstream.
