Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs, aiming to capitalize on a shift away from personal computers, introduced a service that stores music and other files online and keeps devices synchronized wirelessly.
The product, called iCloud, will let users move their “digital life” from PC hard drives to remote data centers in the “cloud,” Jobs said today at Apple’s developers’ conference in San Francisco. As part of the service, Apple iTunes, the biggest music seller, will let users keep their existing music library in the cloud for $24.99 a year.
