Today Apple took the wraps off its newest operating system for Macs called OS X Mountain Lion. Apple is shifting to a new release schedule for the software that powers its Macs. Instead of making you wait two or three years between versions, you'll get a new one just about every year. It's very similar to the iOS release schedule for iPhones and iPads. We'll have a full walkthrough of Mountain Lion for you later today. In the meantime, keep reading to check out the biggest new features. iCloud is now on Mac Just like iOS, all you have to do is sign in with your Apple ID and all your contacts, email, calendars, apps, etc. sync to your Mac. Whenever you make a change on your Mac, it'll appear on your iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc. too. Mountain Lion's iCloud feature also works with your iWork documents. If you use Pages, Keynote, or Numbers, all your document changes will automatically show up on any other Apple device you're using.
Messages replaces iChat iChat is dead! Instead, Mountain Lion comes with Messages, an all-in-one chat app that integrates iMessages too. You'll still be able to log into AIM, Google Talk, etc., but you get the added benefit of integrating iMessages from your iPhone or iPad.
Reminders is on the Mac too Reminders is one of the most useful new apps that came with iOS 5. Now it's on Mac too. All your reminders will sync across all your iDevices too. Are you seeing a pattern here?
