According to a report from Om Malik of GigaOm Sweden-based cloud storage company Xcerion has just sold its iCloud.com domain name to Apple for US$4.5 million. Until recently, iCloud.com was a domain name and a storage-as-a-cloud service owned by Linkoping, Sweden-based desktop-as-a-service company, Xcerion. Xcerion’s iCloud service has just been rebranded to CloudMe, and the company acquired the CloudMe.com domain on April 5, 2011. My source, who is familiar with the company, says that Xcerion has sold the domain to Apple for about $4.5 million. Recent reports have said that Apple has completed the technical side of its cloud locker and is just finalizing licensing agreements before launching the service. iCloud.com would definitely be a fitting domain for Apple to launch the service on. As of this time the domain is still shown as owned by Xcerion on whois reports. No information has been released by Apple or Xcerion on the matter. Maybe this will be a new feature in iOS 5.
