Apple's iCloud could help make digital instruction easier

Apple's new iCloud service will let users access their digital content from any device, however other companies already offer similar services.

The company's latest innovations

Apple CEO Steve Jobs re-emerged from his latest medical leave June 6 to show off the company's latest innovations, which include a new cloud-based storage service that could make it easier to teach with digital materials downloaded from the iTunes or iBooks libraries.

It will allow people to put all the songs they have ever bought from the company’s iTunes store on up to 10 devices at no additional charge. Apple is offering to do the same thing with all books and applications earlier purchased through its online stores.

Jobs’ keynote address at a conference for application developers marked his first onstage appearance since he unveiled the second version of Apple’s tablet computer, the iPad, three months ago.
