Today Apple held the Worldwide Developers conference (WWDC). During WWDC 2011, no iPhone 5 hardware was announced. Usually Apple announces new hardware each year, but this year none was announced.

Steve Jobs started the Worldwide Developers conference by announcing the iOS statistics. After Steve Jobs, Phil Schiller took the stage and announced details on the Mac OS X Lion operating system.

Scott Forstall announced details on the iOS 5 software update which will be released in fall. Once Scott was done, Steve Jobs went back on stage and announced details on iCloud. The WWDC is still ongoing, so stay tuned. We’ll let you know if Steve Jobs does end up announcing the rumored iPhone 5 that many sites have speculated on.

At the WWDC 2011 Keynote, the enigmatic iCloud was finally unveiled to all attending the keynote conference. Steve Jobs climbed back on stage to reveal the iCloud.

He said, “I’m going to talk about iCloud. We’ve been working on this for some time now, and I’m really excited about it.”

Before talking about the iCloud, Steve began by recalling how many years ago the PC was becoming the digital hub for one’s digital life.  Digital photos, digital videos, music. It worked for the better part of 10 years. But it has broken down in the past few years.

“iCloud stores your content in the cloud and wirelessly pushes it to all your device. It automatically uploads it, stores it, and pushes it to all your devices.”

Since it is integrated with all your apps, everything happens automatically. The iCloud can also work on the MobileMe apps since they have been re-written from the “ground up”.

The contacts that are added in any device are pushed to the cloud and then sync’d down to all the other devices.

The calendars work the same way-one can make a new calendar, edit it, and it is  all pushed to the cloud. Calendar sharing is now added as well.
