Apple iCloud, does it make more sense now than last year?

Apple iCloud, does it make more sense now than last year? - Stuck in a Server Closet

Being on the verge of exiting Apples mobile platform I reflect upon a great idea with horrid execution and see if it is worth it before IOS6 releases.

For those with ADD my answer is no, but its darn close. Let me iron out the features one by one.

Mail, Contacts, Calendar - Only useful if you do not have a mail carrier, or you have 2 IOS devices you need contacts and calendar information syncd on.

Reminders - Useful if you use reminders and want them synced so your devicds work in tandum. Though Remindersona 3Gs is primitive.

Bookmarks - Probably the most useful thing in iCloud. Being able to sync with your Desktop browser of choice is great.

Notes - Well notes is, notes...personally OneNote from Microsoft has more capabilities and can be synced to SkyDrive and Office.

Photostream - Is nice but the slowness of syncing  is a bit irratating. If using iPhoto on a mac though its good. If you have a PC use Dropbox.

Documents and Data - Never used it since so few apps support it.

Find My iPhone - Pretty darn cool, if you loose things.
