APPLE ICLOUD | APPLE ICLOUD BETA | IPAD FOR SKYPE | LATEST IPAD | LATEST IPAD UPDATE | IPAD FOIR SKYPE UPDATE

Apple has just launched iCloud for everybody with an Apple ID so now it would be the perfect time to ditch MobileMe and switch over to the company’s news cloud-based service. The iCloud.com website is now packing a way to login, however, you will need an iOS 5-powered device or a Mac OS X 10.7.2 computer.

While iOS 5 is in the beta stage right now, the Mac OS X 10.7.2 update has just been released for download so you can organize your data in the cloud where it will be safe. If you have an iCloud account, then you’ve probably organized your calendar, synced your contacts, and checking your Apple mail directly in your Safari browser.

In order to show you that you’re doing something wrong, Apple has compiled very cool 404 error web pages that will let you know if your browser is not supported, if JavaScript is not enabled, if cookies aren’t enabled, or simply if the page doesn’t exist.

The saddest part about Apple’s iCloud is that it doesn’t support the Google Chrome browser. That’s a bummer, but I’m sure Google is going to do something to update Chrome for Mac to support Apple’s latest service.

Now that iCloud is almost ready for everyone, you can stop using MobileMe thus saving $99 yearly. MobileMe will only be active until June 30th, 2012 as all features will be merged into iCloud so if you do like MM for some reason, then I suggest you take advantage of it while you still can.

iCloud will offer 5GB of free space and if you’re looking to get 10GB more, then you’ll be asked to pay $20 yearly, while 50GB more space is going to cost you $100. Sounds like a sweet deal, or you could always switch to Google services as they’re all free.

Apple is also working on Skype for iPad as the application has been prematurely released at the iOS Store. Some lucky users were able to download Skype for iPad and to their amazement, this version is a whole lot better than the Skype for iPhone application.

Skype for iPad worked on both 3G and WiFi networks and it’s really easy to start a conversation and video chatting. What’s worth noting, is that the iPad application will support instant messaging while you’re in a video call.

Sadly, the applications has been pulled from the iTunes Store due to the aforementioned reason. Hopefully, Skype for iPad will go back live for download so users can commence video chatting.
