Apple's Mountain Lion OS: Macs Now Work Better With iPads, iPhones

Thursday 26 July 2012


Apple (NSDQ:AAPL)'s OS X Mountain Lion, the ninth iteration of its operating system for Macs, is now available for download, Apple confirmed Wednesday.

The new OS, which is selling in the Mac App Store for $19.99, requires users to be running Apple's Lion or Snow Leopard OS, version 10.6 or later, on a Mac desktop or laptop with at least 2 GB of memory and 8 GB of storage. Apple, Cupertino, Calif., said users that have purchased a new Mac on or after June 11 can upgrade for free.

Mountain Lion delivers more than 200 new features, including tighter integration with Facebook and Apple's homegrown cloud service, iCloud. With iCloud support now included natively, users can synchronize apps such as email, reminders, calendar and contacts across all their Apple devices, eliminating the need for manual file sharing or updates.
