In cursul noptii trecute Apple a lansat iCloud Control Panel 3.0 pentru Windows, si o serie de addon-uri pentru Firefox si Google Chrome, ele permitand sincronizarea de bookmark-uri cu iCloud. In mod normal aceasta functie era disponibila doar pentru OS X si permitea sincronizarea bookmark-urilor cu toate iDevice-urile prin intermediul iCloud si a unui Apple ID, insa se pare ca Apple si-a schimbat putin strategia. Oferind aceasta optiune tuturor utilizatorilor, compania americana extinde baza de persoane care ii pot accesa functiile, generand mai mult interes pentru ele.
Cloud keeps mail, contacts, and calendars up to date between your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows PC, and lets you share calendars and task lists. iCloud also keeps your Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome bookmarks on Windows in sync with your Safari bookmarks on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac. With My Photo Stream, iCloud automatically downloads the photos you take with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your PC, — and any photos you add to My Photo Stream are automatically available on your other devices set up with iCloud.
You can also share photos and videos with just the people you choose, and invite friends to add their own photos, videos, and comments with iCloud Photo Sharing.
Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars. The iCloud Bookmarks extension is required for syncing bookmarks with Firefox or Google Chrome.
iCloud Control Panel poate fi descarcat de aici, iar addon-urile pentru Google Chrome si Frefox de aici si aici.
