Apple’s 2013 Scorecard

I guess iCloud still ain't usable on platforms other than Mac OS X / iOS, which really limits its potential and appeal.

They should at least have a web UI as a fall back option. It's hard to trust in any cloud storage that presents roadblocks to accessing your own data. I want to know that worse case I can get at a very important file from any computer with a web browser.

My girlfriend's photo stream syncs right to her Documents folder on Windows.

That would be using an application developed by Apple I guess? Cause as far as I know there's no API (RESTful or otherwise) available for other platforms than iOS / Mac OS X for third parties.

So you would have preferred apple to give you nothing more than a shitty api and a "good luck" ?

You do realise that not everyone is a programmer right?

No, but it would be nice for 3rd party developers to have an API available to implement into their own products. Since Apple doesn't provide an API for platforms other than Mac OS X / iOS, I'll likely use the Dropbox API in my next product, since I will be able to use it on an Android phone, for example.
