An iCloud beta is available in a new version of iTunes.
Version 10.3 will include access to the service, which will enable Apple product users to automatically download their iTunes music purchases to their devices via wi-fi or 3G, free.
When activated the service will automatically send past and future purchases to every device or computer registered to the service. And in the Fall a service called “iTunes Match” will enable iTunes users to add up to 20,000 non-iTunes recordings to the iCloud service, without uploading these recordings to a server.
As previously mentioned, the basic iCloud service will be free to iTunes users whilst the Match service will cost $24.99 per year.
Note that this beta is not available through normal program updates. The most recent version available through the program is 10.2.2.
10.3 has now been made available though automatic and manual updates.
For some reason they decided to release yet another update, 10.3.1, a few hours after 10.3. iCloud is specifically mentioned in this update’s details.
