We don't need Apple's iCloud to get streaming media to iOS devices (although it would certainly make streaming easier to do for most folks). There are already existing services and apps that allow you to stream content to iOS devices.

Granted, I don't think I've ever seen anyone using their iPad to listen to music (unless it's on a dock or something). Most of them are just using their iPads for video, games and web browsing.
I think that will be the next battleground actually-access to enough bandwidth/monthly data to support all the future cloud stuff-not just Apple's, but Amazon's, Google's, and Microsoft's mobile plans.
