This morning Apple announced OS X Mountain Lion (ten.8,) the next version of its flagship desktop operating method. OS X 10.8 will ship later this summer,and will be obtainable through the Mac App Store. As with OS X ten.7 Lion, Mountain Lion is geared towards bringing a lot more iOS goodness to the desktop, and further blurs the lines among Apple's mobile devices and computers. New features that will be coming to the Mac with Mountain Lion incorporate a new Messages app that will replace iChat and bring iMessage and FaceTime into one particular app, Notification Center, tighter iCloud integration, AirPlay mirroring from the Mac to an Apple Television, the Reminders app, Notes app, Game Center leaderboards, Twitter built-in to the OS, Share Sheets to make sharing of any content simpler, and Gatekeeper, a new security feature that allows you to set preferences for what can and can't be downloaded. We will go much more in-depth on each and every in a separate feature later right now.
With the announcement of Mountain Lion, Apple also made it recognized that it will stick to a new yearly release cycle for its desktop OS.
