After months of whispers and rumors, Apple’s finally tipped its hand: iCloud is a real product, it’ll debut at next week’s WWDC, and through it, iTunes will be making its long-rumored leap into the cloud. But when all is said and done, what will iCloud actually be, and why should anyone care?
Today at 1PM ET/10AM PT, I’ll be hosting a live Q&A about iCloud and Apple’s cloud ambitions over at The Washington Post. The Q&A will last roughly an hour. I’d love it if some of CoM’s readers came by to ask questions and chat.
To follow the Q&A, all you need to do is click this link, or go to https://wapo.st/jqM0Bk. You can ask questions now. Otherwise, you can ask a question via Twitter by either sending a question to @postlive using the hashtag #wpchat.
I hope some of you guys will come by and chat about iCloud with me, lest I have to fill dead air with obscene limericks. See you then!
Update: And that’s all she wrote! Thanks for coming by and asking questions, guys. If you want to see the transcript, you can find it here

As revered as the Washington Post is, I think I’ll wait until a truly informed and reliable source has anything to do say about what Apple is doing. You know, like Steve Jobs
