iCloud web client was officially
launched on Thursday by Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL), after being fully upgraded.
Earlier, the site was only accessible as a beta product, but now all features
like Calendar, Notes, Reminders and Find my iPhone
are minus the “beta” tag.
The textured fabric background in
the iOS has been retained and there are choices for Mail, Contacts, Calendar,
Notes, Reminders, Find My iPhone and iWork. When you click on Mail, a web
-based version of its OS X counterpart pops up. Numerous visual features of the
desktop client have been incorporated such as the columned layout. New messages
can be sent via a new pop-up window and there is an option for folder creation
and message sorting.

A theory was circulating in May
that Apple was looking to merge iCloud Notes and Reminders with iCloud.com. The
final version is a clearer picture of what an iOS user can see on their iDevice
such as the the skeuomorphic leather stitching and torn off pages in the Notes
web app. Reminders is designed in ways similar to Notes and there is a way to
dynamically “check-off” to-dos.
Find My iPhone will still make
use of Google Maps till iOS 6 comes up with its own mapping app. The web
version resembles its mobile counterpart quite a bit in this respect. If users
misplace their iDevice, a sound can be played to locate it. There is a battery
indicator as well indicator in the top right corner of the device's information
window.
There is a brand new "Lost
Mode" function that will enable remote locking of the device and will
track it during any movement, but it is not yet active. However, users can
manually engage a remote lock and wipe data.
