WWDC 2012: Apple announces OS X Mountain Lion coming in July for $19.99

Craig Fedderighi states:

“Mountain Lion is a major new release with hundreds of new features. I’m going to detail just 8, and we’re starting with iCloud.”

“With Mountain Lion we built support for iCloud right in. When you sign in with your account, we configure all of your apps and your content is up to date across devices.”

“And we introduce three new apps: messages, reminders, and notes.”

“We’re also bringing integration with your documents; with a feature we’re calling Documents in the Cloud.”

“When you launch Pages, it shows all the docs you have in the cloud. And it makes these available across all of your devices.”

“Next is sharing. Links, images, video… and now in Mountain Lion you can share right from the app where you’re working. There’s a share button on the toolbar. Twitter… just like that.”

“Notifications also support internet notifications from services like Twitter.”

Apple’s man introduces Power Nap, a new app that keeps your Mac up to date while it sleeps and automatically refreshes data and it’s power efficient. Next feature introduced as expected is AirPlay mirroring, Game Center (support turn based and head-to-head gaming, across platforms), in Safari -support for Baidu.

It will be available in July for $19.99.
