Steve Jobs has finished giving the WWDC keynote, and there’s a ton of new stuff coming out in the next few months.
The big news was iCloud — a service that will automatically back up all your data to Apple’s servers, then push it back down to all your devices. So, if you add a new contact or snap a new photo on your iPhone, it’ll show up on your iPad.
Music is covered, but there’s a catch. If you only want to back up songs you bought from iTunes, that’s free. But most of us have collections that contain a lot of songs ripped from CDs and other sources. Apple will scan your collection, match it to songs they have in iTunes, then let you stream those songs do your other devices. But — the service, which is called iTunes Match — costs $25 a year.
Still, it’s a quicker and more efficient solution than Google Music or Amazon’s cloud service, which require you to upload ALL songs manually.
Apple also announced tons of improvements in the next version of Mac OS (Lion), which will cost $30 and be available next month, and in iOS 5, which is free and will come later this summer.

A whole 168 people? Seems legit.
164 in fact. And was probably carried out on their facebook page.
The way that this survey is misleading. It’s fairly impossible to initiate contact with somebody via email unless you know their address. It would trying to guess their mobile number. Facebook is similar to a directory so you have the advantage of looking them up. So of course Facebook will trump email on first contact.
Must people I know – and I’m not a student – don’t "email" on Facebook but will chat. Email is still a primary channel of communication.
Yes, 168 is far from a realistic sample size to start drawing conclusions and issuing statements.
No one in my year sends emails, most only have an email to be able to use Facebook/social networking sites. 95-100% of my year have a Facebook.
The expression “no shit sherlock” springs to mind
What is this “email” of which you speak?
Interesting. I would have thought that students would have been encouraged to have a linked in page set up in order for them to acquire employment.
Any one on Google yet?
I think what the survey is highlighting is what Brian mentioned above. If you look for someone on facebook you will most likely find them and have a profile photo to hopefully verify you have the correct person. Even if you preform a google search on a name, facebook results are usually within the top 5 links
The same can be said for Linkedin
have your say
