Apples new OS X Lion...A Sneak Peek

Steve Jobs announced today what he suggested was a marriage of iOS with Mac OSX. Called Mac OS X Lion, the next version of the Mac's operating system will bring iOS features to the Mac, including bringing the App Store to the Mac.

The Mac App Store

Now Mac users have all the benefits that iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad user have with the introduction of a Mac App Store. Apple is accepting submissions from App developers next moth with the App Store to be open within 90 Days. 

Launchpad

The Mac App store is essentially similar to the iOS home screen concept. Apps can be grouped into multiple screens that can be finger-flicked left and right, and grouped into folders as they can be in iOS4.

Full-screen apps

Apple such as iPhoto and iMovie can now be viewd in full screen. Creating much more intimate user experience. 

Mission Control

Mission control is a mash-up of Mac OS X's Exposé, Spaces, and Dashboard features, making flicking and swiping among different apps easy. Mission Control will also provide support for Lion's system-level support for full-screen, menu bar–free, windowless apps.
