iCloud is out there and people are using it. If you're anything like me (ie. you like a good moan) there are a few niggling issues with the overall service. Let's see if you agree.

The most annoying thing for me is that I had a MobileMe (an @me.com email) account prior to iCloud coming along. As a result I cannot use an @me.com email address as my iTunes account.

The result is that I must now run two iCloud accounts on all of my devices. One for iTunes (music, movies, apps) and another for email, contacts, calendars etc. At first glance that's lousy implementation but not the end of the world.

It gets complicated when you look at apps like FaceTime, iMessage and Find my Friends. At the moment they too will only allow me to use my iTunes iCloud ID. Why does this annoy me? It annoys me because my second email account is the one backing up my data to the cloud, meaning that I now have SMS and iMessage backups to two different cloud locations. Complicated.

It's also annoying because I can have my @me.com (which is one of my iCloud logins) email address added as a secondary email on my iTunes iCloud account (are you lost yet?!) and receive notifications to that! How are they working this stuff out?

Before putting this live Apple really ought to have found a way to merge these accounts. Having multiple accounts, with mixed up primary and secondary emails, is just confusing. I am not going to understand where all of my data is and which accounts I'm using with which applications unless I sit down and draw out a diagram.

Anyone else sharing the same frustrations?
