The appealing option, people in this thread are espousing, would be the ability to identify the app while browsing on a desktop web browser (preferably desktop OS ambivalent). Personally, I would prefer iCloud run from an app (or several daemons?) on the TimeCapsule supporting multiple devices, and Apple just provided encrypted, off-site back-ups from the TimeCapsule (thus, making TimeCapsule the "center" of my cloud). If Apple could handle my dynamic IP address issues, and my firewall/NAT issues, I could just use my always connected, 250GB-bandwidth/ month (and 1mbps-delivering/ <80ms latency) home connection to ensure security and robustness, I'd be more inclined to buy their hardware. As it stands, I've bought an ipod Touch, only; simply because I'm too cheap to buy a phone from a big-telco (instead: metroPCS, Leap Wireless, and MVNOs like Republic Wireless or StraightTalk are things I advise people to look into).
