All very pretty but... Why?

Seems to be very little real benefit for a printer owner in this.

Cloud Slicing. I can use my iPad to download stls, slice them with their cloud slicer, then print from anywhere in my house/out of the house.

Interesting idea, but aside from the cloud slicing service and print monitoring (which unless they're outsourcing it to cheap labor in India, I really wonder if manual monitoring will scale), it's nothing you couldn't put together yourself today with Octoprint (which can run cura) on a raspberry pi, plus the right rules on your firewall. The SMS notifications are even doable with a little hacking - I know Octo has a notification feature.

Today, if I find an STL I like while I'm on my iPad, I can just pop open a RDP session to a computer at home (I've got PocketCloud's RDP helper running on a computer), download it there, slice it with KISSlicer on my computer, upload it to my Octoprint RasPi, and start it going. My Pi has the camera module, so I can even monitor the print.

But personally, even with Octoprint I want to be at the printer when I'm starting a job, especially if it's something where I want to make sure the first layer gets laid down really well.
