The train of Apple news is still flowing through the internet. Apple seeded the first developer build of OS X Lion (10.7) to developers. If you haven’t been in the loop as for as OS X Lion goes their modo is nothing but truthful. With this release of OS X they have revamped the UI as well as added and changed some default applications on OS X.

Mail.app

Based around the extremely functional iPad Mail.app the OS X version is nothing short of streamlined perfection. With a solid UI like OS X has in combination with the simplicity hey are known for, they are allowing the action of sending an email, to become an enjoyable and most importantly easy process.

Launchpad

Last but not least there is Launchpad. This is definitely the most “iPad” like feature in OS X Lion. Picture the home screen(s) of your iPad or iPhone/iPod touch on your Mac and you have Launchpad.

Almost every time I help somebody with, or fix, their computer I get the same question how did you learn all of this? Well, that starts us off. I am a self taught graphic designer, technology enthusiast, social media junky, and die hard (yet not obsessive) Apple fanboy. I am the proud owner of many iDevices and soon enough a MacBook Pro. One of my favorite pass times is hang out with friends so, when I am not typing out the latest news in the tech world,I am most likely hanging out with friends either in person or on Facebook, Twitter, or now Google+.
