Their marketing is definitely hyperbolic. Even in terms of Apple's own services. The supposed data syncing in iWork actually doesn't work on the Mac versions. It only works between iOS devices. So if I edit a paper on my Mac, and I want to use it on my iPad, I still have to go through an annoying uploading/downloading phase. There's nothing seamless about it.

If you go to the bottom of http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/documents.html you can see the web interface you have to use.

I know this is a tangent to the OP but I was very annoyed to discover this last night, I feel like Apple was pretty misleading here. There are clearly technical difficulties that still need to be surmounted.
