Looking at Apple's track record, I don't expect anything else than a good-working service. Not that anything Apple touches turns into gold (MobileMe...), but seeing that this is a major new feature for them, they've probably tested it quite well.
- j79 15y agoThe iPhone 4 antenna was touted as a major new feature as well. However, their method of testing (encasing them in thick plastic to mimic the appearance of an iPhone 3G/S) may have resulted in "antenna-gate". OR, at least given bloggers (and commenters, ahem) something to speculate about. I do hope that they've tested it as well. And I hope that testing is extended beyond just Steve Jobs a few choice employees. Unfortunately, I highly doubt that to be the case...

- phlux 15y agoWhat about angel-gate!??!?! The only gate near and dear our little-HN hearts! (Other than nand-gates) /s
- chc 15y agoMobileMe was a major new feature for them too. As was iTools before it. Every time Apple rebrands this suite, they make it out to be an amazing, revolutionary service, and it turns out to be kind of half-baked. From what I've seen so far, iCloud doesn't look much different. Apple makes great software and hardware combos, but has yet to prove that it gets the Internet.
