The rumors were confirmed: Steve Jobs has indeed presented the new operating system from his firm this morning.
"Lion" is expected to arrive for the summer 2011 it will be full of "numerous innovations developed for the iPhone and iPad", including:
- Management of more advanced multitouch gestures (via the magic mouse or trackpad)
- Arrival of an App Store for Mac software that is bought and installed with one click
- Launchpad, a special screen to launch applications, quite similar to that of the iPad
- New control center providing an overview of the best organized applications in use
The firm hopes, with this software, create a new user experience-oriented full-screen applications (instead of windows).
The demonstration, short, do not give details.
Finally, Apple announces the arrival of the AppStore for Mac "in the next three months."

Taiwanese sources close, very close Similarly, hardware manufacturers have confirmed to the local press that Google had assured its partners in the arrival of version 3 of its mobile OS for the month of December.
A new certainly very well received by Acer and LG, two companies officially waiting "Gingerbread" (aka Android 3, see above) to launch their new devices: the famous bars.
Other companies like HTC, Asus, Samsung and Motorola seem to do the same will not seem to use Android 2.2 on these terminals.
These same sources also reveal some interesting figures. A manufacturer must pay 50 $ 60 to use Windows 7 on a shelf, against only 10 for Android.
In projecting a bit, we can expect to see a flowering shelf for the traditional and highly anticipated salonCES Las Vegas.
As for Android 4, it is (already) expected in the second half of 2011.

And one new rumor about Windows 8, one!
Apparently an employee of Redmond has produced a roadmap that would indicate a release date for the next operating system from Microsoft.
If you believe this document (to be taken lightly, because its origin microsoftienne is a rumor, although the dates he cites for other releases have proved accurate), Windows 8 should be delivered on first July 2011.
Which is separated from us only 17 months ....
The core of the new OS should be completely redesigned to adapt to future technology generations. This, at least strongly hope that many people.
