None of them:

iCloud
Dropbox is already here

Lion
Almost to none "prosumer" features.
Im using "fullscreen" since I moved from windows, because I need visually clean work view and I never liked idea of desktop like mess of apps and documents on table anyway
On the other side I think apple looses power in inovation: 1. theyre late with official fullscreen ( from my point of view ) 2. Even now they cant innovate and see potential exceptions, like to be able to snap 2 app windows side by side to create fullscreen ( notes on right and text editor on left for example ) something similar like in Win 8 Tech Preview.
And I could go on and on with another examples

iOS 5
Same here. Notifications was bad implemented, now they corrected them, bam, a new feature hehe :)
When I first saw iPhone I was excited it was like revolution to see clean and simple interface well thoughtout, but now... Im referring to screenshot of notification slided down: Looks overstyled...

To not get me wrong, features presented are not bad, but from wider point of view... something stinks...

I was looking forward to see some prosumer features in Lion. A little details which make our everyday work easier, maybe new file manager, automatic windows snapping, faster os, there are plenty things which can be made better, but not desktop launcher, animated icon of installed application...

Im not dissapointed with keynote, Im dissapointed with the direction of products from bigger perspective

Maybe we will need to search for alternative in near future / few years but I hope not heh :)

Excuse my really bad english, Its not my native, but I will practice...

To compare iCloud with Dropbox is a little misleading. iCloud does so much more than what Dropbox does. Dropbox is essentially the iDisk feature of the old MobileMe, while iCloud took that feature and wrapped it up with a lot of other features. Like syncing and pushing your contacts, calendars, and other areas of your mac automatically.

sometimes ordinary people dont't understand that apple make things easier as always we expect.

ok it takes time (multitasking for iphones) but they reach the stages with elegance.

they had reasons to don't launch "on the air" syncs before, but people don't understand that they always have two or three movements forward. it's like a chess game.

I still expect a better dashboard and a message center like iOS 5 on Mac OS X that pushes all mobile devices messages to your computer.

Most exciting for me - and for the way I work - is that you no longer need a computer (Mac or PC) to set up an iOS device. That's a really big deal. The next overall big deal would be if you could use an iOS device to make iOS apps.

There are more and more powerful - in terms of what they let you do - apps appearing every day.

The big challenge I'm finding is to recognise these apps as such and use them well rather than trying to fit my current ways of working to an iPhone/iPad or fit an iPad into my current ways of working.
