If Apple for devs whispers, consumers read lips

Glitchy iCloud can be, as it works for millions of people. In fact, it offers enterprise-class features and you will need to make, much less futz to configure it. ICloud remains frustratingly limited, but amazing. What happens if you want to share a document? Collaborate on a document? Save to let you download it to a video file for Grandma and Grandpa? It is not so easy.

If Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco will start from next week, it will be only application developers, the straight.

While the company with business partners and professionals who every day using core-Apple-tools, the Apple fan world will pay attention. What will Apple show?

A new iWatch? The next iPhone?

No. and no.. Products, which can have their own startup is not displayed at the WWDC.

A new MacBook Air? A MacBook Pro?

Likely; new Intel HASWELL processors are slipping.

Is a fantasy but shallow iOS 7 in new splendour?

In any case.

iRadio?

I hope so.

Still, I'm not a developer, to make their lives easier, so many of the improvements and optimizations, the Apple with devs parts will be better and stronger Apple does not for me - at least until the developers start with the Apple goodness to deliver new apps.

What care I about? What think I every day Apple enthusiasts these days... really important is, that could come from WWDC?

Two things, actually, and they are connected to each other: iCloud and Apple TV.

Let's talk iCloud. As glitchy as it may be, it works for millions of people. More to the point, it offers enterprise-class features for consumer - and they have to worry about it, much less futz to configure it.

iCloud coordinates your music, movies and TV shows, synchronizing contents over her many Apple products-MacBook, iPad, iPhone - mainly behind the scenes. It would be even better it coordinates your calendar and email, contacts, and even some documents – as well as your Safari bookmarks and reading list, iBooks and apps.

Oh, and it can save consumers the iOS devices to the cloud! There are find my friends about Apple to run iCloud service, my iPhone and apps.

So it is a lot - a heckuva lot more going dropbox with iCloud as saying.

And yet, iCloud is amazing, frustratingly limited.

Simple things such as store important files in the cloud has to do, an Apple fan Icloud - to ignore, if you use only a special app to save a file in iCloud. The concept of a file system, a file that you sit as a thing in the mist cloud "see" is pretty much ignored by iCloud.

So you cannot really dump some files in iCloud secure it or access it from multiple devices, much less by a non-Apple device. Oh yes Sie-wait, Yes,-when she created documents of keynote, pages, or numbers are, and if you start with an Apple device and stop you then with an Apple device.

What happens if you want to share a document? Collaborate on a document? Save to let you download it to a video file for Grandma and Grandpa? It is not so easy.

If Apple iCloud would open up more flexible ways for developers, consumers would not separate dropbox of account or other services-are to be integrated with iOS apps. There are millions of dropbox customers directly, which seem quite happy. But Apple falls with iCloud-vision and services - both short and a few basic extensions could simplify the world of Apple users.

I do not know, what keeps Apple if there making a full Apple HDTV, but I'm sure it has to do with production costs, navigation and how to to combine the various types of content into something that makes sense actually. So a big mess.

The existing Apple TV still can one enters into the pants, and I hope Apple created an Apple TV app store and allow developers to create apps for Apple TV. Sure, right now we have a few cool apps like Netflix, Hulu plus, YouTube, and some sports channel now is far from the vision of apps, but the reality of what is Apple TV, as it could be in the near future.

Yes, you can display wirelessly AirPlay content from your iPad or iPhone on your HDTV screen, but that is not the same as a built-in app. I think that consumer for integrated apps available. I know that I am. We still enjoy a great fantasy Apple HDTV apps today have, so I hope, Apple isn't holding back, waiting to perfect a product that is never perfect.

The sad thing is, we need no huge app store with half a billion apps, to transform our living experience. Heck, I'd like a nice slideshow-based app only, weather information and music-something dirt simple, but better usable as Apple's own built-in slideshow app contains.

Something that you want to use your HDTV as a giant picture frame but also basic information and music simultaneously - allow to be your TV part of your life, if you don't want TV shows to see.

Developers using this type of law come-not always Apple-so if we want conditions on the better preserved? Foreseeable?

WWDC will tell us, and this is why I'll be attention to.
