Everyone seems to be getting into the clouds beside airline pilots.  Apple announced iCloud, and Microsoft is demonstrating SkyDrive. 

When Windows Phone gets updated to Windows Phone Mango, the SkyDrive will allow users to share photos on the web or on phones. 

Videos can be automatically uploaded.  Uploading to the web can be done in the background, giving access to photos and videos anywhere.

SkyDrive also syncs Microsoft Office files to PCs and the web.  Videos note that no cables are required.  Files can all be saved to SkyDrive, including sky miles on your spreadsheet.

The newest Windows Phone to go on sale is the HTC HD7S.

The Mango update is expected later this year.

Today, more than 250 million documents are shared through SkyDrive,
making it one of the most popular ways to upload, view, edit or share
documents on the web.

More than 70% of the folders created on SkyDrive are shared with other
people.  In the Office hub on Windows Phone, you can easily search across your SkyDrive for the
document you need without having to wade through your folders.
