Anticipation mounts as the clock ticks ever closer to the the unveiling of the iCloud, from the protectively hidden, yet still viable guru of the tech/computer world, Steve Jobs.

Jobs will be in attendance for the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco on Monday with Apple’s Virtual Desktop service, appropriately named iCloud, to be the main element to his keynote speech.

What does iCloud provide that other virtual desktop software services do not? Many speculate that it will allow users to stream their music libraries from Apple’s Internet servers directly into their devices in real time without having to sync or download them from a computer.

Most details remain obscure considering the brief and insignificant fashion in which iCloud was mentioned in an earlier press release detailing the various announcements that will be made at the conference, “but it’s getting the most scrutiny—because we don’t know anything about it,” said technology research analyst, Michael Gartenberg, in an interview with the UK based print newspaper, The Times.

What we do know is that Apple will discuss root improvements to base and reliable products like the newest version of the OS X operating system, Lion, and the mobile iPhone and iPad iOS 5 operating system.
