I don't think this means what the title might imply. Photo Stream will still only store photos for 30 days, so it still doesn't replace Everpix or Loom.
Disclaimer I'm currently an intern at http://m.eversnapapp.com that is solving the same problem better ;) but Photostream is probably the worst executed product apple ever made. It's only raison d'être is the social aspect IMHO, and stubbornly they'll never realize that in your life you gotta have an android friend/relative...
