The apple has held named “Back to the Mac” the release conference on Base company Wednesday. Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced at the meeting that will promote is suitable in the Mac platform application procedure store three months later, using the platform will experience iOS to transplant to the Mac tabletop carries.
As opposed to Apple’s recent raft of iOS-based announcements, this one will mostly be about Mac OS 10.7. The new version of OS X will apparently be referred to as “Lion” if the not-so-subtle image on the invitation is any indication.
And what’s with the use of “Back to the Mac” anyway? Is Apple just being cute or is it a not-so-subtle hint that MobileMe’s “Back to my Mac” remote-access technology could be getting an upgrade?
CrunchGear’s got a good rundown of the current Apple hardware rumors, including touch-based iMacs and MacBooks, a revved MacBook Air and CPU/GPU bumps including the Nvidia Optimus. While we probably won’t see a new iPhone, iPod or iPad next Wednesday, that doesn’t mean that we won’t see iOS at the event.
I love Devin Coldeway’s theory that iOS could find its way into Mac OS X in the form of an iOS dashboard replacing the current (and disastrously unusable) Dashboard. It would be a great way for Apple to capitalize on the success of the App Store and begin to converge the two platforms.
While the announcement of an updated version of Mac OS X might not seem exciting initially, the prospect of touch-based Macs iOS integration should pique the interest of developers and users alike.
You’re the CEO: how would you converge OS X and iOS?
