Video tour of Mac OS X Lion developer release
Ian Bauters presents an overview video of many of the new features in the developer release of Mac OS X 10.7, also known as OS X Lion. Many of the changes bring Mac OS X closer in appearance and behavior to iOS 4 on the iPad and iPhone.
Some of features and changes covered include:
- Finder changes, including changing folder view with a slider
- Launchpad
- Safari 5.1
- Dashboard
- Address Book
- iCal
- Quicklook
- Mission Control
- Preview
For those of us that aren't developers (including me), this is a must-view.
Note: Unfortunately, Apple has been pretty keen on going after these sorts of things, so the video has been taken down from YouTube.

Ian, I loved District 9. How's your arm?

You may even be able to switch with Command keys like you can now. Command 1 is Icon view, Command 2 is List view and so on. To me, full screen capability in every app is worth the upgrade. I like Mail's folders now being where a browser's bookmarks bar is. Totally removing Power PC support can be frowned upon but, 64 bit and more speed enhancements will be welcome. I'm sure it will be well worth the upgrade. For those that think it won't be, stay behind and don't upgrade and bitch about it.
