Ha ! All the rumour-mongers got it wrong about Lion coming out on the 14th. That'll teach ya...Suppose you will predict another date now..
Bit sick of all the rumour mongering by the Apple fan boys - be happy with what you have until a new thing comes out. It's coming whatever !

I like the idea of tabbed browsing in Safari on the iPad = very useful
OSX - Lion - July is not too far away - could be either 4 weeks or 8 weeks though. More likely eight - I'll bet
At least the price of Lion OSX is good - $29.99 - I wonder what that is in Euro?
Air drop sounds fun - will we need a parachute?
A lot of people will be happy for a new Mail app - What about a new iCal though?
I will be interested to see at what price Lion will be coming in at ???
who needs scroll bars anyway? Full screen on a 27in iMac will be wicked with some apps
Looks like we will all be buying the Magic Trackpad to go with Lion & our desktop computers for the swiping and gestures and so on
Just purchased 'Hype' Application for my Mac - Look like it will be really useful indeed. I can't wait to get playing with it. Thanks Don
Just getting a huge number of updates to apps for the iPad and iPhone including Dragon Dictation
