Mac OS X Lion 10.7 Features and Improvements So Far

Apple recently released Mac OS X Lion 10.7 to developers and since then there has been a lot of talk about the improvements and new features in Mac OS X Lion. Here is a quick run through of what has been added to Mac OS X Lion 10.7 so far.

  • TRIM support for super-fast SSD writing
  • Recovery partition to your startup hard drive removing the need for the OS X installer disc in case something goes wrong
  • Possible Dropbox-like functionality for MobileMe storage
  • Find my Mac functionality in Apple’s MobileMe service
  • Removed support for PowerPC applications
  • Removed Front Row (possible it’s only in the seeded development OS, however)
  • Podcast Producer, a true podcast production tool letting you create various shows, episodes, and effortless edit, upload, and share your podcasts
  • Yahoo IM! support in iChat including video and audio conferencing, iOS-style symbol keys (hold down a key on your keyboard and an onscreen symbol list appears like in iOS), and live URL previews when you hover over a URL link

What other features would you like to see added to Mac OS X Lion 10.7?
