Mac gets new OS based on IOS

MAC GETS MORE MOBILE: Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled a new version of the Macintosh operating system that incorporates several features from iPod and iPad software in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. They include Apple's messaging service, notifications app, gaming center, sharing features and integration with iCloud. Named Mountain Lion, the new version of Mac OS X is the clearest sign yet of Apple's belief that the mobile, laptop and desktop world are destined to converge—and that Apple wants to be a catalyst. "We see that people are in love with a lot of apps and functionality here," said Cook, pointing at his iPhone. "Anywhere where that makes sense, we are going to move that over to Mac." Cook said Apple will make an early version of the software available to developers Thursday and will start selling it to customers in late summer. Though Apple sold a record 5.2 million Macs in the quarter ending in December, up 26% from the same quarter in 2010, Macs represented just 5.4% of global PC shipments in Q4, according to IDC, up from 4.5% during the same period in 2010. As the company's revenue jumped 73% in the quarter ending in December, the percentage of its revenue from Macs fell from 20.3% to 14.2%. (2/16a)
