What is the difference between @me.com and @iCloud.com

I have always used the @me.com


I recently received an email from Apple stating I can now use @iCloud.com


Can you please explain in simple terms the difference? Is it the same account or another separate account?

MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.53 GHz), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

It's the same account, just two different "aliases". You're just given the option to continue with your old MobileMe email address or use the new icloud.com address, but all email will come to the same inbox. See:
