My Top 5 Mac OS X Lion Features

Alongside with iOS 5, Apple also unveiled Lion, their next revision to Mac OS X. Lion is of course the codename for Mac OS X 10.7 and it brings a lot of cool new features sure to make your computer feel like a whole new machine.

1) Air Drop - As someone who interacts with multiple users and has multiple computers, getting files from one to another is a pain. Air Drop makes it dead simple to share files from computer-to-computer, and does it seamlessly.

2) New Mail App - I'm in mail a lot. Apple has taken the feel of Mail in iOS and adapted it to the desktop version, making it feel like the apps go together.

3) The Price - $30 - I still can't get over how little they are charging for this. Does delivery over the internet via the Mac App Store really save that much money (usually $129) and heartache? I guess so. Good for us though!

4) Resume - I love this idea - anytime your computer restarts, it leaves you right back where you were. All open apps, windows in the Finder, etc. It even keeps highlighting of words .

5) AutoSave / Versions - Another idea that is awesome but will count on developers to take advantage of it. Will the big players, like Adobe, go through the extra programming steps it takes? I certainly hope so, because this feature will save users, especially beginners, a lot of time and heartbreak. I doubt they will though, at least short term.
