They turned him down. With a warm smile he told them that Apple was 'going after their market.'

So yes, I expect to see iCloud's capability to expand.

Your observation about it being limited to work with iOS devices is spot on. I view it as a starting point.

In June Apple will announce iOS 7 to developers. I would expect a somewhat more robust iCloud, which will roll into OS X as well.

FYI, iCloud services work seamlessly across my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. As good as OS X was before, iOS is influencing it in really good ways.
