The WorldWide Developers Conference (WWDC), Apple's developer event, will have its official opening next Monday (06/06), and by all indications, the main news that Steve Jobs will present his lecture at the Moscone Center have been revealed. The most prominent of them seems to be the new music store service in the cloud, iCloud, and details began to leak on the web.
According to the LA Times, iCloud will be launched initially with a free service for users that decide to buy your music from iTunes, and at a later time, the service would have an annual payment of $ 25. At first, the service will be released to the user to store only the tracks purchased by Apple's music store.
This requirement is part of the agreement made by Apple with three major recording companies in the world music market (Sony, EMI and Universal). Rumors also realize that these negotiations have been arduous for both sides, but Apple wanted to be assured iCloud launch with the backing of a good musical content to users.
Additionally, some vehicles may say iCloud debut as an integrated service to the new Mac OS X Lion, while others suggest that the new service comes in to replace the current MobileMe, especially the alleged price iCloud be much lower than what MobileMe is charged.
For now, we are dealing with rumors. Fortunately, the answers will be given next Monday, by Steve Jobs himself.
