"Back to the Mac"
20/10/10 08:39
In about an hour Steve Jobs is expected to take the stage to announce a slew of new things for the Mac.
Apple is holding its “Back to the Mac” event today and the rumors keep on coming and the biggest ones to date include a new Macbook Air which hasn’t seen a redesign since its initial launch many years ago. Apple is surely to announce Mac OS Lion (most likely 10.7 - the final version of a 10.x OS from Apple). Although it may end up being OS 11 a completely new operation system. We will know in a few short hours.
My hope for the iPad in this event is that the next OS will take cues from the iPad to make my Mac experience more iPad like. I’d love to see the user interface become more iOS like while still retaining the power and control over the system that I have today. I’d also love to see an iLife for iPad announced and possibly released today! I see this as something that needs to happen sooner rather than later. Garageband for the iPad is something needed in a big way.
The new Macbook Air - I’d love to see this as the first iOS/Mac OS hybrid machine that transforms into a larger screen iPad when the need arises.
Many more things and possibilities are in the air for this event and I’ll be sure to report what did happen today as Apple goes “Back to the Mac.”
