Apple announce a new Netbook version of the Macbook Air, a new Mac operating system and a new suite of iLife software - and we missed it all due to being out of the office. Bloody typical. We hear that the Macbook Air has been brought up to date with the rest of the fleet and there is now an 11 inch version going into production - we knew there was a reason why we didn’t get an iPad! They have also announced a new operating system called “Lion” (original eh?) - this system will be available in summer 2011. The most obvious new features, and the ones people are talking about are a new iPad style desktop to navigate through your applications. The other is a new “Mac App Store” which will work much like that of an iPhone - but for a Mac. Everyone is saying it is basically bringing a iOS focus to the Mac OS. It remains to be seen if this is genius or a step backward.
We arn’t important enough yet to have Apple sent us any products to mess with, smash up and review so instead we will redirect you through to Wired for further details and imminent product reviews.
