   Hello World. The consumer cloud computer unfolds.
   icloud today announces an affordable and easy to use cloud-based home
   server with open APIs. Expect consumer electronics, software and online
   services to make use of this new mass-consumer friendly online computer.
   The always-ON computer opens up a new era where electronic devices easily
   can integrate and make use of the cloud.
   Linkoping, Sweden - February 26, 2010 - Today's launch of the icloud Ready
   Program for the consumer electronics industry is a milestone in making it
   easy to connect electronic devices to the cloud. The environmental
   friendly icloud online computer is always-ON and offers consumers an easy
   way to provide, share and manage content like music, photos and video for
   easy access from all kinds of electronic devices that connect to the
   Internet. This includes devices with popular platforms like iPhone,
   Android and Windows Mobile.

   Daniel Arthursson, icloud's Founder and CEO says, "All these new kinds of
   devices like flat-screen TVs, smartphones, digital photo frames and
   Internet radios have amazing capabilities, but today, it's too complex and
   expensive for most consumers to manage and setup their own home server.
   With icloud it's all handled safely in the cloud and easy enough for mass
   consumer adoption; it will be a break-through for the consumer electronics
   industry."

   Already, anyone can create an icloud account free of charge. With icloud,
   a full remote management desktop is provided to handle the online computer
   and manage uploaded files. Everyone receives 3 GB of free storage; premium
   accounts are provided up to 100 GB. This enables anyone with a mobile
   phone to have 100 GB right in their pocket.
