It's quite premature to call this game.

No one has seen Apple's cloud music offering.

How locked up will it be? How much will it cost? Will it support MP3s not purchased from iTunes? Will it work on non-Apple-brand devices?

Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

Good point. I would expect the Apple service to only work with Apple devices and to have the same 3 device (or whatever the number is) limitation that they currently have. I'd also expect it to be a pay service, as Apple doesn't do freemium.

I'd consider it a major fail if it's not accessible through a web interface, something I'm not expecting.

That number is unlimited. You're restricted to 5 computers, but unlimited iDevices. I currently have something like 30 associated with my account.
