iCloud.com goes live, prices revealed

(WIRED) -- Apple's iCloud.com website has gone live, allowing developers to test out the online version of MobileMe's replacement.
At the same time, beta versions of the iWork suite for iOS and iPhoto have also been made available. And inevitably, many details have already leaked to the web.
iCloud is Apple's new "sync" service. When you create or edit a photo or document on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Windows PC, it is automatically pushed to any other device you have chosen.
The iCloud.com site is the online home for your data. There's a calendar, an address book, a mail web app, access to the Find My iPhone service and a new section called "iWork." These all look a lot like their iOS counterparts, right down to the icons.

This is no surprise, as even the awful MobileMe used a very iPad-like interface for its Mail web app.
Most interesting are the online versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. Posted screenshots show that there is no editing or even viewing functionality yet. Visitors are told instead to launch the apps on their iOS device and switch on iCloud.
Perhaps there will never be a way to view your documents on the web, or maybe it will be added before the official launch.
Right now there doesn't seem to be any way to view your photos at iCloud.com.
