Push App Updates, Too
If you’re already playing around with iTunes in the Cloud on iOS 4.3, you’ve no doubt discovered that this cool new feature only lets newly purchased apps get pushed to your other devices -- updates still have to be downloaded the old-fashioned way, which is a headache with iTunes, an iPhone 4 and an iPad. We say triggering an app update from anywhere should magically update it everywhere.

How Many Gigabytes?
We’ve done the math on this whole iCloud storage thing, and while the free 5GB Apple is offering up is surely generous, we can already see a problem with it. For example, our iPad 2 has a lot of apps gobbling up plenty of data on their own, such as our favorite comic book reader, Comic Zeal. Yes, you’ll be able to buy more storage (although nobody knows for how much quite yet), but our iPad 2 backup is already going to exceed the 5GB. (Sad face.)

A True iTunes in the Cloud
Admit it: You were on pins and needles before the WWDC 2011 keynote waiting for Apple to announced its big music streaming service. Though iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match are certainly great steps forward, they both still require downloading entire songs rather than the ability to stream tracks from the cloud like Amazon Cloud Player or Music Beta by Google. Will streaming ever come? Only Steve knows for sure.

Back to My (Cloud) Mac
There were rumors that iCloud might allow us to sit down at any Mac and wirelessly log in to our Mac at home -- even when it’s turned off. That would have likely required some updated Time Capsule hardware, which was also MIA this week. We were certainly skeptical about such an idea over existing broadband connections, but that doesn’t mean we don’t hope it’s still coming in the future.

Time Machine Cloud Sync
Along with the last rumor is one that would allow us to access our Time Machine backup from the cloud, with any changes being pushed back to our Macs when they were turned back on. That’s still a lot of data moving back and forth and we feel just a tad bit queasy about working from a cloud-based backup -- but a feature like this would still be awesome for Future iCloud.

AirDrop(box)
Maybe Apple realizes that they can’t improve on what services like Dropbox or SugarSync already offer, which is why they didn’t build something like it into iCloud (and naturally, carry it over to OS X Lion). The AirDrop feature of OS X Lion is pretty cool for peer-to-peer file transfers, but wouldn’t it be just a tad more cool with some iCloud integration?

iCloudDisk
Last but not least, while we await the fate of MobileMe iDisk, let’s put this out there so Apple can feel our longing vibes: iCloud should have its own cloud-based disk of some kind. Hopefully better than iDisk, which was always pretty slow and unwieldy for most tasks. So if not a Dropbox-style sync-friendly affair, at least something to let us save some files and maybe manually be able to access our iCloud backup data, just in case we ever need to.
