It seems like backing up your media files to a Dropbox-like service instead of iCloud would solve the problem of being able to get your files from any device you want.

I'm not attached to any one device in particular because all of my content is stored on a third party that can be accessed from anywhere.

I could drop my Macbook Pro or iPhone 4 at any time and not feel like I'm missing something.

Good thing about Apple products is that they last awhile, my Macbook Pro is now 3 years old, and my iPhone 4 is 2 years old, and I haven't had any issues and don't plan on upgrading them until they break.

I think that's the shortest definition of "lasts a while" that I've ever seen.
