Mountain Lion,The future of Mac OS X!

   Ever since Apple announced the 2012 summer release of Mac OS Mountain Lion, Apple fanatics have been anywhere from happy about the news or on the fence about whether its really an upgrade or not. Mountain Lion pricing or exact release date have not been announced officially yet but there is a lot to look forward to, Many new things I personally see myself using in the future.

If you own an iPhone or iPad with iOS 5 then you’ll more then likely be familiar with most of these new features.

 -   iMessages

This has been on any iDevice that is running iOS5 for months now, iMessage allows two or more iOS devices to chat/text for free with wifi or a 3g network. Similar to Blackberry messenger, You’ll be able to know when the person your talking is writing back or not, As well as know if they received and read your messages (Read Receipts are able to be turned off via settings). You can also launch Facetime right within iMessage. You can download a beta version of iMessage for your Mac right now! 

       -  Reminders

Another iDevice familiar app, Reminders allows you to set reminders to let you know when you need to do something or even make a grocery list, With iCloud support your reminders will be kept up to date on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and even iPod Touch.

  




           - Notes

Notes has been on every iDevice since the beginning of their time,Simply used to jot down ideas or anything on your mind that you need to remember or even a recipe for your grandmothers cookies to personal information that you want to have written down somewhere just in case your mind decides to forget. If you’ve ever used a post it note then im sure your gonna understand how to use notes, You can even add Images and attachments to your notes, as well as share them to your friends and family or colleagues.


  - Notification Center
This is one my most used and favorite features of iOS 5, Just swipe down to see all of your notifications and even the weather or stocks. In Mountain Lion notification center will be able keep track and make easy access to apps trying to get your attention as well as calendar events and Game Center updates and FaceTime calls to even iMessage notifications! When you get a notification you'll be able to open Notification Center and see the alert,Clicking on the alert will bring you straight into the app. So perhaps you get a new email and         want to see that email, You just open up Notification center and click on the alert and your there inside the mail app looking at the email.


  - Share Sheets
Another iPhone & iPad feature being brought over is the function to share web pages,links, and documents with friends and family via twitter,Email, Text Message, or even Flickr all with the click of a button! Its that simple!







- Game Center
One of if not the biggest gaming network in the world comes to Os X, You'll be able to challenge your friends to games or even check your score on the leader board and even send anyone around the world a friend request or message. Game Center will also recommend new games that might interest you,Kind of working like genius.





- Airplay Mirroring
While some iPhone and iPad users who have an Apple Tv will have used this function a few times,You'll be able to do it with your mac now also,Wirelessly stream your content straight to your television.









 - Twitter
iOS 5 brought the ability to tweet just about anything from your iPhone,iPad, or iPod Touch without even having to open your twitter client, Mountain Lion will have the ability to do the same thing! Tweet anything from almost anywhere!







- Gatekeeper 
Gatekeeper makes your mac safer then ever,It'll help prevent you from downloading or installing any harmful software!

         Os X Mountain will defiantly change the experience you have when using a mac.
