Storage price still 12x more then traditional harddrive backup(1TB=1000$). That 12x is what you are paying for cloud value added service. Prices should be at least half in order for consumer market to take off.It will come.

In the mean time, still waiting for revamped MobileMe. An O/S integrated cloud service seems to me much way better than any others. Airdrop might be the interface for all filesharing solutions in MAC devices.




Dropbox will transparently sync a folder on your computer which makes it as integrated with the OS as your local file system. How much more integration do you need? Are there some system calls that the Darwin kernel could implement to make the integration tighter?


Why shall i need an app while its given a system feature?

BTW who knows what new OSX features will bring, new file system for better sync for air, a new pure friendly UI? Who knows...

And i don't like apps that depended some other major competitors than my environment.


Dropbox feels very integrated though.
