Apple has made a beta version of its iCloud service available to Apple developers. iCloud, which was announced at WWDC in June, is an online back-up and syncing service that will cross-populate content such as calendars, email, contacts, applications, and books across all a user's iOS devices. The service comes with 5GB of storage for free. As part of the beta, Apple revealed that iCloud users will be able to purchase additional storage. Apple said that 10GB of storage will cost $20 per year, 20GB will cost $40, and 50GB will cost $100. These amounts are in addition to the free 5GB, making for totals of 15, 25, and 55GB, respectively. Both iCloud and iOS 5 are still in beta status, being tested by developers, before their planned release later this year.
