Apple has seeded OS X 10.7.2 Build 11C62 to developers with areas of focused testing for iCloud. As we near Apple’s next media event, developers are putting the finishing touches on iCloud integration.

Apple has promised that iCloud will go live alongside iOS 5 to the public sometime “this Fall,” with the event estimated to take place on October 4th.

This latest beta version of OS X comes 6 days after the previous build. Apple is encouraging developer testing for areas like AddressBook, GraphicsDrivers, iCal, iChat, iCloud, Mac App Store, Mail, MobileMe, Safari, Spotlight, and Time Machine. iCloud is integrated into the last two OS X beta builds, suggesting that the service is almost ready for prime time.

An update to OS X Lion with iCloud integration is expected to be pushed out at Apple’s next media event.
