I agree with you on the profit, where are all the iphone users backing up to and why do Apple only supply 5GB free when the smallest device is 8GB. If you don;t have a personal computer you should be backing up to the cloud.
you don't understand how apple's cloud works.
What do you mean by Apples cloud. ?
it depends on the data to be backed up.nospamWhisky-dave
you don't need 8 gig to back up 8 gig.
So what sort of size backup space to you need to store 8GB of yuor data. ?
apps and matched music don't use any space, while photos do.
in other words, a 16 gig ipad that's full of apps will use a negligible amount for user data, but a 16 gig ipad that's full of photos would need a lot of space.
most people have a mix of apps, photos, music and user data, so the actual amount is going to be less than the capacity of the device.
everything needs software, even drag/drop.Whisky-dave(I'm using the iphone as I know people that use them on my Mac as a backup rather than the cloud). I don;t think you can just plug a HDD into the USB port and back everything up, there;'s a reason for that I guess.nospam
of course you can.
How ? You need software for it its not drag and drop.
the name doesn't matter. it's what it does that matters and the cloud offers all sorts of functionality that was not possible before.nospamWhisky-dave
it's a very real and functional thing that is going to become more prevalent going forward.
It is not a cloud, your data isn;t floating around on fluffy white things in the sky, any more than you data is stored in condoms.
The reason they call it a cloud is because that's how it was represented on diagrams early on and the name sort of stuck. They could have used a burger, or a garden shed.
that's why it's not a fad.
