Apple?s iCloud Service to be Delayed in the U.K.

It has not been that long ago that Steve Jobs made an annoucement about Apple’s new iCloud service. In fact, he did so at the WWDC on Monday, as a part of his keynote address to the convention. However, getting this new service across the world may take a bit of time, if the issues with the U.K. rollout of iCloud are any indicator.

As of this time, it looks as though the iCloud service is not going to have a go live date in the United Kingdom until sometime around February 2012. There are reports in multiple places across the net that negotiations are going slowly.

Imagine that from Apple. One only need remember the launch of iTunes to remember how slow the roll out from Apple went to other countries. So we Aussies had better not plan on seeing iCloud for a bit. With any luck, the U.S. launch will still be on time for this coming fall, when we expect to see the launch of the iOS 5 operating system.
