Apple's iCloud.com goes live ahead of iCloud launch

From CNET News.com: Ahead of a full release this fall, Apple has pushed the Web front end to iCloud live for developers to kick the tires on.

The new site, which resides at iCloud.com, features a similar front-end to Me.com, which will be shuttered next year with Apple's MobileMe service. Visitors can view Web e-mail, manage contacts, view and edit calendar events, and access the Find My iPhone tool. A new entrant to the bunch is a Web app for iWork, which outlines iCloud's file storage for documents created in Apple's Keynote, Pages and Numbers iOS applications.

One surprise to come out of the quiet launch is that the log-in screen matches one that leaked out ahead of Apple's official iCloud unveiling at WWDC in June. At the time, Apple made no mention of iCloud having a Web front-end, something the company committed to a few weeks later.

9to5mac appears to be the finder of the freshly-launched site. Apple's made no mention of the service on its developer site.
