The combination of these three possibilities gives the user:

The OS version itself will be available in autumn, but SDK for programmers is available today.
Supports 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad and iPad 2, and 3rd and 4th gen iPod touch.
iCloud
Devices can “communicate” with the cloud at any time - take photos, send to the cloud, and it automatically appears on other devices.
“People think the cloud is just a big drive, but we think it's bigger.”
MobileMe has been rewritten for a steeper cloud.
Send letters to @ me.com - you receive an email on all devices.
Services will be ad-free. (rebuked google? :))
FREE! (For MobileMe We took 99 cu per year)
Synchronization of purchases. If the device does not have the program that you bought, tap the cloud icon and the applications will be installed.
With books and subscriptions the same thing.
Almost all the content of the device can be stored in the cloud.
Made a document - upload it to the cloud.
and it will be available on another device.
As an example, edit the document, insert the photo from the iPhone, and turn off the device and come home, turn on Pages on the iPad, you will find that the thumbnail of the document is automatically updated.
Auto-update documents on all devices.
There will be a special KFOR
Photostream
Sharing photos on devices.
Those. you photographed something in a photo stream, and after a while the photo will be available who will be subscribed to your stream.
Available both on TV and PC.
It is stored either 30 days or the last 1000 photos.
Photographed on iPhone, immediately available on iPad-e and PC.
iTunes in the cloud
Now there is no charge for purchases for different devices. Everything is legal.
It takes about 30 seconds to get the song after clicking on the download button.
Having bought on one device, we automatically get on the other
again. It will be all free. For mail, documents and backups, 5 Gb of space is given. Those. purchases do not count.
For developers, the beta version is today, and for the laity - in the fall.
iTunes Match
It will scan your library to compare what you currently have on your PC with what is stored in the store, and there are now 18 million songs. This is to transfer your collection to the cloud. It takes minutes.
And your collection will cost you $ 25 in year.
“If you think that this is not serious, you are mistaken, this is our third data center.”
All.
The work of writing a post, as always, can be estimated through the figures of karma :) otherwise it was somewhat emaciated in these 2 hours :)
Thanks for attention.
