Apple is expected to announce the iCloud upgrade alongside iOS 6 at next month’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

Good. That’s the biggest feature of MobileMe that I was really going to miss: super-easy way to share groups photos on a clean website. Loved that capabiblity in MobileMe and used it ALL the time.

I really hope that the sharing will not be limited to other iCloud users, otherwise a lot of non-Apple friends and family would miss out (maybe that’s the point).

iCloud photo sharing, another surpassed-by-social-networking feature, brought to you by the same winning team that invented Ping for iTunes.
