The ninth release of Mac OS X, Mountain Lion, is set to land in the Summer and brings functionality and feature enhancements inspired by Apple’s popular tablet device, the iPad. Mountain Lion is all geared up to bring Notes, Reminders, Game Center, Notification and iMessages to the Mac which signals the beginning of a fusion between OS X and iOS.
Everything that users can expect has already been covered, but Mountain Lion is an OS which Apple claim has been "Inspired by iPad, re-imagined for Mac", and will feature deeper iCloud and Twitter integration as well as AirPlay Mirroring, and several familiar iOS applications with enhanced security features with Gatekeeper.
The developer preview of Mountain Lion is available to download for registered OS X developers, with the new Messages application being freely available for OS X 10.7.3 users in beta form directly through Apple’s website. Apple have also published a dedicated Mountain Lion preview page which outlines all of the new features in typical Apple format containing beautiful renders of the new operating system as well as feature descriptions.
They have also published an official Mountain Lion video on their website which outlines all of the main new key features in the operating system which they believe will enhance the experience for all Mac users.
udging by the video, and the list of added features and applications, they weren’t joking when they claim that Mountain Lion has been inspired by the iPad. OS X 10.8 has a very ‘iOS’ look and feel to it, with immediately recognizable features such as the Notification Center, the Reminders app and the ever familiar Notes application which has been present on iOS since the beginning.
Make sure you check out the video to see all of the new features.
