Apple’s iCloud beta goes live: web apps and pricing revealed

iCloud, Apple's ambitious cloud-based music, video, photo and data automatic backup and push out service, has finally been released but it's in beta form and out only to developers.

The iCloud.com web interface for developers has everything you want and more. It features all the new web apps for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc. In addition, it will allow users to view their iWork documents (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers) that are stored in the cloud and will also feature Find my iPhone as an integrated web app.If you do have a developer account and are running either iOS 5 or OS X 10.7, you can check out the slick new iCloud web apps, which include Mail, Address Book/Contacts, Calendar, “Find My Phone” and the iWork suite.

Judging from the login screen alone, the apps will probably look and feel much like their desktop counterparts. (TechCrunch managed to get inside and took some screenshots. We’ll upload some images when we gain access.)
