No PDFs, No Co-editing On Underwhelming Apple iCloud

Posted by timothy on from the praise-so-faint-it's-hard-to-make-out dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Apple's iCloud service has been a little overlooked in the bunfight for the iPhone 4S. When it was first announced some predicted it would wipe out companies like Box.net, DropBox and so on. As the NYTimes put it, "Maybe Apple will kill them all.' Box.net's CEO disagreed and it looks like he was right. You can't store PDFs and images on iCloud except with PhotoStream, there's no co-editing, and the document management interface is a shambles."

    Yah, I think it's meant to be bunfight... but then again it's Apple, and knowing the preferences of their customers, maybe the summary is right.

    Random anonymous readers can basically whine about a non-issue and get a story on /. now?

    I've been away for too long. And, clearly, the current /. management wants to make sure I, and other old time readers, stay away.

    I think it's time for Taco, Neal, and Hemos to come back and clean house, because this isn't responsible in any way, shape, or form.
