More on iCloud integration at WWDC

The Apple vision is that if your iPhone dies or your iPad is stolen, no problem. After a suitable donation, you can simply register the new one (over the air of course) and it will be cloned to look just like your old one just prior to its demise.
The magic is in the completeness of the iCloud integration with the major app species on the devices, leaving almost nothing uncovered by that warm blanket.
Another thing I forgot – non-Apple apps can play too! An iCloud API is now available which covers storage of documents and small sets of key/value pairs in the cloud. The idea being is that you wrap anything your app creates in the Document class and save any configuration parameters in key/value pairs and *bam!* – your app can restore itself too.
