Amazon Cloud Player review: functional, not mind blowing, and still US-only
It's hard to believe: our world-spanning network, our Internet, which is the cornerstone of free speech and free society -- which, on a good day, is capable of causing populist revolutions -- is still crippled by banal geolocation restrictions. We are, of course, talking about Amazon's two latest offerings, both of which are only available in the United States. Last week it was the excellent Android Appstore for Android, and today it's the Amazon Cloud Player for Web and Android. Along with Cloud Player, Amazon also launched Cloud Drive, which is basically just like any other cloud storage digital locker. It's not particularly feature rich, and there's no real reason to use it over something like SugarSync or SkyDrive -- it does work outside the US, however.

Amazon Cloud Player and Drive review: Not for music lovers
Music may have kicked off the digital media revolution with the rise of the MP3, but in recent years audio has taken a major backseat to video and communications. The more devices we pile up, the more fragmented our music collections become. Some don’t even bother downloading music at all anymore, instead opting for unlimited monthly services or radio alternatives like Pandora. Well, Amazon has taken a step toward changing that. Yesterday, the online retailer unveiled and released its Cloud Drive and Cloud Player, which let you upload music (or other files) to Amazon’s servers and stream them back on your computer or Android device. Apple and Google are both rumored to be launching some sort of streaming service as well.

[Review] Amazon Cloud Player For Android - Google Music Who?
It’s not much of a secret that Amazon is quickly becoming one of my favorite companies. The way they have embraced Android is wonderful, creating diversity where there used to be none. I recently ran down some of the pros and cons of the Amazon Appstore for Android, which is starting to become my go-to marketplace for new apps. Now they have released a new music streaming service, Cloud Player, which brings some of the functionality that was originally a hope of Google Music to my Droid. Cloud Drive and the Web App

Apple's iCloud: Fine on Mobile, Dead on the Desktop [REVIEW]
Along with iOS 5, Apple officially released iCloud Wednesday. The successor to the much-maligned MobileMe, iCloud is Apple's first major attempt at unifying its product lines with online storage. Unlike MobileMe, iCloud is free to anyone with an iOS 5 device. It's also available for OS X Lion — and yes, that means you have to spend $30 on the upgrade if you're on Snow Leopard, a fact some have compared to a Mac user tax. On the PC side, both Windows Vista and Windows 7 are supported. Could iCloud be a Dropbox or Google Docs killer?
The Most Detailed iCloud Review Ever
As I have been using iCloud for two weeks, this post aims at addressing the most commonly asked questions with regard to this latest addition to Apple technology. Granted, most of Apple products don't require a detailed manual as they usually "just work". In iCloud case, I believe that, although it works beautifully, it requires a lot more explaining that what can be found at www.apple.com/icloud First of all, the user has to keep in mind that "iCloud" refers to many different things: 1) An automated backup system for iOS devices: this is what enables users to "cut the cord". iOS devices are now autonomous and can be configured without a computer or iTunes. A simple wifi connection will let you restore an iOS device from a previous backup or configure and activate a brand new device.
mSpot Review
Posted 09/17/2010 at 11:25am | by Adam Berenstain Cloud-based music streaming for the masses Since Apple bought Lala, the online music store that lets you upload and stream your computer’s music online, speculation has swirled about when Cupertino will bring the feature to iTunes.

While the service has room for improvement, it also puts your music in the cloud with a minimum of fuss. mSpot's music player lets you drag and drop songs into new playlists, just like iTunes.

Google Music Beta 2012 - TopTenREVIEWS
The winner of our TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award for cloud music players is Google Music Beta, one of the search giant’s latest innovations. Currently, as the name indicates, the service is in beta testing, so registration is limited to invitees. That said, when Google finally opens their cloud music storage service to the public, it’s going to make quite a splash, especially if it retains its no-subscription-fee model.
iCloud 2012 - TopTenREVIEWS
The most promising cloud music player is iCloud, the new cloud storage service from Apple and winner of our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award. Its functionality is unique among the cloud music services we reviewed, and the user experience it offers is unparalleled. We were very impressed with the service, even in its infant stages during beta testing. It is fully integrated with iTunes 10.3 and devices running iOS 5, broadcasting almost everything you do on one device or computer to all of your synchronized devices.
Amazon Cloud Player 2012 - TopTenREVIEWS
Of all the cloud music players we reviewed, the Amazon Cloud Player is the only service currently available to the public. Unfortunately, it’s also the least polished and promising of the three. With its respectable list of player features and exceptional customer support, it still performs admirably and earns the TopTenREVIEWS Bronze Award.
