can I use iCloud with a non-Apple device?

I keep getting an error message that my "Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." I downloaded iCloud, but I can't get past the log in without getting this error. I only have a PC and an old iPod--no other Apple devices.

You can only create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or a Mac running OS X Lion or higher. Since you don't have one of these, your only options are to purchase one or find a friend with one who would be wiling to let you create an account on their device. After creating the account, you will then be able to sign into the account on the iCloud control panel for Windows.
