Mark Copeman from talks through what iCloud is, how to set it up with Outlook and a live demo of it working in real time - it's an. Basically, when you tell the Control Panel to sync contacts and calendar, it just adds two additional calenders for iCloud Home and iCloud Work and an additional address book for iClound Contacts. It seems you manually have to copy over the data from the default Outlook Calender and Address Book.
The Mac Outlook application isn't able to fully connect to your iCloud (or MobileMe) data. MS hasn't released a sync services connector yet. Outlook for the Mac is still strictly an email or Exchange account app. There's only a few other connectors available for Outlook 2011 but you'd be cribbing a workflow together, sad to report, and none of them connecting to iCloud (yet) - one of them is TungleMe, which is now owned by RIM but still open to other platforms For email: For contacts and calendar, you'll have the 'On My Mac' option - local copies that sync between iCal/Address Book and Outlook. Not that I'm aware of and I'm not so sure Microsoft would be the ones to make that change.
Could be wrong though.Maybe I am missing something, but why would you even worry about that? I mean, you have an exchange account, right? Then you just setup your phone, pad, mac, whatever, to use the exchange account info and it all stays in sync because the exchange server is in the middle. No need for icloud in this case, right? For example, I have my Windows laptop/outlook and my iphone both configured for exchange.
