So far, Apple has barely showed any interest in it. How can they fail at something they never even tried?

What about MobileMe? I'd say they've tried, and they've been an also-ran since the beginning.

Maybe the purchase of LaLa will change that.

The statement could be interpreted to mean that Apple has failed at providing cloud computing experiences. Either way the result is the same: if I want to sync via the cloud with Apple then it's a pretty crappy experience.

Sure, I see them trying in the future (and maybe failing at that point).

What happens if the IPhone 5 can stream your music directly from ITunes?
