14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is testing a new version of iCloud.com featuring two new applications from iOS - Notes and Reminders - both of which require iOS 6 beta to test out. The company also seems poised to release an iCloud SDK.
MacRumors aggregates a number of reports on the web regarding Apple’s accidental disclosure, following a similar leak involving integration with Notification Center from iOS and OS X Mountain Lion, in what is a clear indication of a revamped iCloud waiting to be released.
The Cupertino giant seems determined to include two new service to the existing Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Find My iPhone, and iWork web apps. Namely, Notes and Reminders. The discovery was made on Apple’s beta.icloud.com site, a test portal for iCloud.
Both apps stem from iOS and have made their way inside OS X Mountain Lion, the under-development Mac OS scheduled to debut this summer.
It is only logical for Apple to include these services with iCloud, since the web suite integrates tightly with iOS and Mac OS X alike. The official iCloud.com portal still displays only the standard services enumerated above.
Access to beta.icloud.com is no longer available to the public. The Mac maker has taken development offline to continue work internally, with Apple issuing the following message to developers: “To use http://beta.icloud.com, first sign in to iCloud with the iOS 6 Beta.”
A second test portal located at developer.icloud.com has also been taken down. For as long as it was available, eagle-eyed users managed to snag a developer icon from the background. The artwork is reminiscent of Apple’s Xcode developer toolset, indicating that iCloud might be getting its own SDK.
For those who’ve been living under a rock lately, iCloud is Apple’s suite of Internet services which stores your music, photos, documents, and other types of stuff, and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices.
Every new iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac now comes with full support for iCloud. According to the company headquartered at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California, “Apple devices you purchase are all ready for iCloud, right out of the box.”
