Rumour: Apple acquires iCloud.com for $4.5 Million?

GigaOm is reporting that Sweden-based cloud storage company Xcerion has just sold its iCloud.com domain name for US$4.5 million and that the likely buyer is none other than Apple.

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.
