Apple’s next Mac operating system, OS X Mountain Lion, will bring far more integration to iOS found on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch when it arrives this summer. The Cupertino, California Company announced Mountain Lion on Thursday morning, detailing the new version of what was previously known as Mac OS X on its website for consumers.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion highlights include the arrival of iMessage on Mac computers, a feature iOS user have been clamouring for since iMessage was first introduced in iOS 5. Notification Center will also arrive on OS X with Mountain Lion, bringing further iOS-like features and visual elements to the platform as the world awaits a touchscreen-ready version of Apple’s desktop platform. Other new features include Game Center integration, AirPlay mirroring, enhanced iCloud support and a number of redesigned apps. (latimes.com)
