Kasper JadePeople familiar with the first external build of the forthcoming update — labeled OS X Lion 10.7.3 build 11D16 — say the Mac maker has requested developers to focus their evaluation efforts on iCal calendars, Mail, AddressBook and iCloud's document storage.
The 633MB delta update is reported to have no known issues at this time. It was accompanied by a pre-release copy of OS X Lion Server 10.7.3 that carried the same build number and set of focus areas.
Apple last updated Mac OS X 10.7 Lion in mid-October when it released Mac OS X 10.7.2, which delivered initial Mac support for iCloud.

Can't wait. It should clean up some rough edges to iCloud.
"Focus on iCloud storage" in the sense that we'll see an 'iCloud' option in the Finder Sidebar below AirDrop where we can drag and drop files directly, or…?
A guy can dream.
Although iCloud seems like an great idea, I wonder how much use the average user (like me) would get out of it.
Can anyone offer anecdotes on how they use it on a day-to-day basis?

You're not gonna get much other than "Astounding" from anyone.
At least, people who aren't missing iDisk.

It allows me to pick up my iPad and know that my Calendar, Bookmarks, Photos and other data is in sync. Pretty soon you grow so accustomed to effortless sync that you demand it in all apps that create documents or need to update smaller bits of data.
