OS X Lion Presents New Features

OS X Lion is a new system for Mac, and Apple will be launched next summer. Reform in OS X Lion is expected to offer consumers a more simple, and gain experience as found in iPad.

Several new features will appear in OS X Lion include Mac App Store, Launchpad, a wide support system for full-screen applications, and Mission Control, which unites Exposé, Dashboard, Spaces and full-screen applications into a single process running.

"Lions like carrying a lot of the best ideas from IPAD back to the Mac, plus some new and fresh like Mission Control," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs, reported by Apple Insider, Thursday (10/21/2010).

"OS X Lion has many new features and we hope that users have time to see a good idea where we're headed," he said.

For example, Launchpad allows users to find and launch applications. Similar to the Home screen on the iPad, all Mac applications can be elegantly displayed just by clicking the icon Launchpad.

Of course, the application can set the order of desired features or grouped into a folder, while the page several applications can be easily opened with a single 'friction' alone.

Meanwhile, Mission Control presents the user with a unified view of each application, and windows that run on OS X. In addition, MC combines the next generation called Expose, which shows all the 'window' that runs some groups such as applications, along with thumbnails, Dashboard and Other Spaces.

Lion also includes support for system-wide for a full screen application, which can be inserted with just one click.

Switching from one application to another full screen is achieved only with a single touch of the trackpad, such as shifting back to the desktop to access applications multiwindow.

Finally, Mac App Store is designed to port "revolutionary" App Store for the show experience into OS X. Its function is to create, find, install and update the Mac applications easier than ever.

And as expected, users can purchase, download and install the application using an existing iTunes account.
