Amazon's Cloud Player service, which allows users to upload their favorite music to the online retailer's servers to listen to it anywhere through an Internet-connected device, now reportedly works on iOS-based iPhones and iPads as well.

Earlier, Amazon's Cloud Player service had been working only on PCs and Android-based devices. Someone might think that the service was unable to run on iOS devices as they lack Adobe's Flash Player, but experts are of the view that something else was blocking the preventing from working.

According to emerging reports, Amazon has newly updated its Cloud Player service to support its streaming over Apple's Safari. It means users of the iOS-based devices can now go through Safari to access Amazon's Cloud Player.

However, the Cloud Player service on iOS is still clunky and not as good as it is on Android, where it is a part of a native app. For instance, users of the iPhone and iPad can neither rearrange songs in playlists not they can upload files as that requires Flash.

But the online retailer can optimize the Cloud Player for the iPhone and iPad to make it more useable for the users of iOS devices.

Meanwhile, Apple is supposedly preparing to roll out its own similar Cloud-based service sometime in the near future.
