"Once you're in, it's a one-stop shop," Fino's Eisenberg says. Apple's iCloud is different from other companies' virtual storage systems for one reason: It works exclusively with other Apple products, while Google's Cloud will work with an HTC Thunderbolt, Motorola's Droid or any device using Google's operating system, he says. Meanwhile, there are a range of third party clouds like Microsoft's SkyDrive and Dropbox that allow customers to store files from Microsoft, Android or iPhone.

It's also difficult to transport digital files from iTunes to a third party device like the Kindle Fire. Even the ratings given to the songs are non-transferrable to non-Apple devices.
