iCloud: No Time Capsule support.
Currently Time Capsule, Airport Extreme and AirPort Express do not have iCloud support. This means iCloud users can not access any AirPort Disk remotely. MobileMe service will be shut down in June 2012 and Apple has yet to mention if iCloud would support AirPort Disk.
