There have been a lot of reports over the last few days about Apple, iCloud.com domain name and CloudMe (the company that used to be called iCloud). Om Malik and Techcrunch have reported that Apple has acquired the iCloud.com domain name from CloudMe for approximately $4.5 million.

A few news sources have reported that Apple will use iCloud.com for their new music service. However, I dont think this is the case.

Apple seem to always be ahead of the times, but in this case I think Apple has realised that the Cloud is the way forward for content and its about time they embracced it. I think Apple will use iCloud.com as their new locker service in which users will be able to store their music, videos, pictures, basically anything they puchase from the iTunes store. Plus, im sure that Apple will allow us to access this account via any iOS related device and stream the content directly.

It will now be interesting to see if Apple launch this at WWDC on the 6th of June, because it will also mean that we will be getting a new iOS and possibly a Mac OS X.
