Today, Apple announced that the white version of the iPhone 4 will be available to customers tomorrow, April 28.

It’s probably a forgone conclusion at this point, but Apple’s working on a cloud service. We don’t know the extent of it, but rumors have suggested that it will focus on music and media lockers that will let users stream their content from the web to their devices, both local and mobile.
