Apple is preparing to add Notes and Reminders to iCloud.com, as evidenced by Apple's iCloud beta test portal for registered developers. The changes popped up on Friday morning and developers noticed immediately, taking note of the two new icons that are not currently present on iCloud's Web interface.
The additions to iCloud are apparently being tested for release as part of iOS 6. And as pointed out by developer Tom Klaver, a JavaScript file on the beta site reads: "To use http://beta.icloud.com, first sign in to iCloud with the iOS 6 Beta." To our knowledge, Apple has not yet seeded iOS 6 to registered third-party developers, but is almost guaranteed to be testing versions of iOS 6 internally.
Ars found iOS devices claiming to run iOS 6 with IPs originating from Cupertino in our server logs in March, but Apple has yet to make any kind of public acknowledgement about the OS update. It's widely expected that Apple will announce and demonstrate iOS 6 during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference scheduled to take place next month, however. With WWDC only five weeks away at this point, it's no surprise the company is beginning to prepare its offerings for wider testing, and we're eager to find out what else might be included as part of the rollout.
