One feature in particular stands out and that is the ability to play audio from iDisk while using another app. While this is not the cloud solution I’ve been waiting for Apple to launch it is at least heading in the right direction. The ultimate goal would be to store your music, movies, documents etc. in the cloud vs. needing to buy 64GB (or bigger) device to hold it all.

There is however one major flaw here. While iDisk will play your music, it will only play it one track at a time! So you can’t select a playlist and sit back and listen while using other apps like you can with the iPod app. After each song you will need to go select the next song. Without the ability to play an album or playlist this is a pointless feature. Back to the drawing board Apple!
