Acer Unveils AcerCloud - An iCloud Clone
Acer unveiled their new cloud based service called AcerCloud earlier today, which seems to be a ripoff of Apple's iCloud service, which was launched in October.
Acer has announced that AcerCloud will be bundled with all Acer computers starting second quarter 2012 and will be available in America, Europe, Asia and China.
Here's a snippet from Acer's press release:

Does anyone else actually give a flying f*ck who does what?At the end of it, it's a nice competition forcing companies to release things quicker.Imagine a world with just apple, seems pretty sh*t don't it.

Competition is good. Blatant ripping off isn't.

I smell a lawsuit :O

kinda sad really, if apple doesn't sh*t they can't swallow.

Hay jack i like your response

I like competition, I like that I now have more than ONE choice of cloud services that will support all my devices. It doesn't matter if anyone thinks its blatant copying, its competition, and the consumers only benefit from it.

Kinda sad really...people think that having more than one choice of something is too much for them.

That's the key "CONSUMERS". Any good technology is bound to be exploited by anyone and who benefit from it? The CONSUMER! Call it anything you want, it really doesn't matter ;-)

Its a service that is provided to consumers of Acer products thats all. Nothing to copy from others at all as 'Cloud' system has been out there for a long time, eg Dropbox (my favourite). Just because they release such similar service doesn't mean they are copying others.
