2. Mountain Lion Now Released
Recently, Apple released their
latest version of the Mac OS X,
Mountain Lion. It has plenty of
features that make it good partner
software to iOS devices, which we’ll
take a look at in a bit.
One thing you should know about this software is that the aesthetics are pretty
much the same. Apple has only added to, not changed, the software. This makes
Mountain Lion easily navigable if you’ve already invested in the Apple ecosystem.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at iOS features that Mountain Lion has and
see if it’s a worthy product.

3. Messages
You may have heard that there are several iOS features making their way
into OS X. Well, that rumor is true, and you’ll get a taste of the crossover
with Messages.
With Messages, you can send unlimited messages to iOS devices. This
includes the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It’s truly impressive, because
the whole Apple ecosystem is brought closer together.
Not only can you send messages, but you can also send files, videos and
pictures. Of course, old iChat features such as encryption and the ability
to use login to other instant messaging services make a return.

4. Notifications
Here’s one of the more noticeable additions to OS X, because you’ll basically see it
plenty of times throughout the day.
If you have an iOS 5 device, then you know that you get a handy notification bar
that you can access wherever you are. This feature makes its debut in OS X, and
you’ll really use it.
Your accounts, such as email, reminders and messages will all be relegated to
Notifications. By pulling it down, you can quickly reply to your notifications (when
applicable) and do other stuff as well.
It works by making banners appear at the top right of your screen. It stays there for
a few seconds and then goes into Notifications.

5. iCloud
Tying all the iOS features together is iCloud. This feature syncs several apps and
other bits of data you have into every iOS and Mac device you own.
This means that all of your emails, contacts, reminders, notes, photos and other stuff
will appear on your iPhone, just as it appears on your Mac. This gives you easy
access to all of your essential files without the need for USB drives anymore.
Your whole life is synced with iCloud.

6. Reminders
Another iOS feature, Reminders is a great addition to the already impressive OS X
features mentioned before.
Reminders, as you’d expect, work by creating reminders (duh) so that you won’t
forget all of your essential meetings, appointments and other stuff to do.
You can create lists for your groceries, or basically every other thing that you don’t
want to forget. Overall, this is pretty easy to use, as with other Apple services. It
might not be revolutionary, but it is handy to have.
Conclusion
There are plenty of other features, but the ones discussed here merit the most
attention. It’s highly likely that the features mentioned here will be the first ones
you’ll try.
