**Apple's New Features and Services: A Comprehensive Look**

BBM, one of those things you have to really use to appreciate how it works, is an example of a handy feature that can make a big difference. When I first thought about BBM, I like what's the difference between just sending a text message and using this feature? It's one of those things that I'm actually really excited about.

Another cool new feature announced by Apple is AirPlay Mirroring. This allows users to mirror their iPad directly on their TV with an Apple TV plugged in. Not only can you push video content, but now you can actually mirror the entire iOS screen on your Apple TV. This means that teachers and others will find this feature very handy. The previous method of using a VGA cable or HDMI cord was cumbersome and required more effort.

In addition to these new features, Apple has also announced iTunes syncing capabilities over Wi-Fi. This allows users to sync their iTunes library across multiple devices without having to use a USB connection. This is a big upgrade for those who enjoy listening to music on the go.

**iCloud: A Cloud-Based Storage Solution**

One of the most significant announcements made by Apple was iCloud, a cloud-based storage solution that will store all of your content in the cloud and automatically upload it to all of your shared devices. This means that you can access your contacts, calendar, and other data from any device with an internet connection. The best part? There are no ads, and it's completely free.

iCloud will also provide automatic backups of your device over Wi-Fi, ensuring that your data is always safe and up-to-date. Additionally, iCloud will allow users to stream their photos across multiple devices, including iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, and iPod Touch. This feature, called Photo Streams, allows you to keep your photos stored in the cloud for 30 days before they are deleted.

**iTunes in the Cloud: A New Era of Music Downloading**

Apple has also announced iTunes in the Cloud, a new service that will allow users to purchase songs on one device and download them for free on any other device. This means that if you bought a song on your iPad, you can now download it for free on your desktop or another iPhone or iPod Touch.

To make this possible, Apple has introduced a new purchase tab in iTunes on mobile devices. This feature allows users to see what they've purchased in the past and redownload it again easily. The music will be downloaded in high quality 256 kilobytes per second AAC, without any DRM restrictions, and users can download up to 10 songs simultaneously.

**iCloud Beta Launches Today**

Apple has announced that iCloud is launching to developers today, with a beta version available for download. This means that you'll be able to experience the full capabilities of iCloud before it's released to the general public later this fall. The iOS 5 operating system will also come bundled with iCloud, making it easy to set up and use.

**iTunes Match: A Music Storage Service**

Finally, Apple has announced iTunes Match, a music storage service that costs $25 per year. This service takes all of your music on your computer and matches it against the iTunes library in the cloud, allowing you to download any song for free. The process is said to take just minutes, and it will automatically convert lower quality versions into high-quality AAC files.

iTunes Match will be available to anyone with a legitimate copy of their music purchased through iTunes, regardless of how many songs they have. This means that even if you only own two songs, you'll still be able to download all of your music for free as part of the service. The $25 per year cost applies regardless of the number of songs in your library.

**E3 and Future Features**

Apple also announced several other features at their event, including FaceTime improvements with full-face mode tracking and Lion, a new operating system that promises to be even faster and more powerful than before. We'll be covering all of these developments in more detail as they become available.
