This morning Apple announced the upcoming release of its next operating system, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. With plans to ship this summer, it includes new features like an integrated notification center, better iCloud support, AirPlay Mirroring for desktops, and more.
While it’s still an early preview, the main new features include:
Notification Center with access to alerts from Mail, Calendar, Messages, Reminders, and more.
Better iCloud integration with automatic syncing and updating of files.
AirPlay Mirroring: You can stream your desktop to an HDTV, play games via Game Center, and watch movies.
Gatekeeper security that allows you to control how apps are downloaded and installed.
A number of smaller updates to desktop apps to align them with their iPhone counterparts. These include iCal, Reminders, Notes, and Messages (which is basically SMS on your desktop!).
