Jun 24th
Web access to iCloud Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone will be available at icloud.com this fall.Apple also confirms that the existing iWeb publishing, Gallery, and iDisk services from MobileMe will not be making the transition to iCloud. Some of these functionalities will, however, be replaced and/or enhanced with the already-announced photo and cloud services in iCloud.

Other MobileMe services not transitioning to iCloud such as iWeb publishing, Gallery, and iDisk will continue to be available until June 30, 2012 regardless of whether users maintain their existing MobileMe accounts or transition them to iCloud.

iPad 2 finally launched in India
May 1st
Over a month after it launched iPad 2 in the US, Apple on Wednesday announced availability of its next-generation tablet in India. According to the company, Indian consumers will be able to buy iPad2 from April 29. The cheapest model with 16GB storage and without 3G has been priced at Rs 29,500. The top model with 64GB storage and 3G will be available for Rs 46,900.
Apple tends to roll out iPad and iPhone across the world gradually. On Wednesday the company said apart from India, iPad 2 will be available in 11 countries. According to sources, iPhone 4 is expected to be launched in India by service providers like Airtel and Aircel by the end of this month.
The company took flak earlier this year when it launched original iPad in India nearly nine months after the US launch. The iPad 2 launch shows Apple has learnt its lesson. It now considers India a strategically important market. “With so many other vendors launching their devices, Apple doesn’t want to miss out on new users looking to buy their first tablet in India,” said Vishal Tripathi, an analyst with Gartner Research. The pricing is very competitive.
