It probably shouldn't come as a surprise, but Apple will be adding Reminders and Notes to the iCloud website with the release of iOS 6 this fall, and developers are already putting them through their paces.
MacRumors is reporting that iOS developers can now access a beta version of the iCloud.com website, which adds new icons for Notes and Reminders as well as updated "beta" banners on both Calendar and Find My iPhone.
While Notes and Reminders appear to be "faithful reproductions" of their equivalent iOS apps and updates sync "in near-real time" to those mobile devices, the update to the Calendar app appears to remove Reminders entirely, in keeping with Apple moving this feature to its own app.
"The web version of Find My iPhone has been polished, with a battery status icon as one new feature," MacRumors notes. "The add-on gives users with lost gadgets some indication of how long they have to find their device."
While the updates will presumably go live with iOS 6 later this year, Mac users will also be able to take advantage of the changes thanks to OS X Mountain Lion, which is due for release later this month in the Mac App Store.
