Apple Releases Public Beta of New Messages App for OS X

Does anyone know if you can still do screen sharing and file transfers with the new Messages application?
 
Sweet, u can iMessage YOURSELF

So you can send Videos / Images to your iPhone/Ipad on the fly from your iMac etc
 
I know I'll get down voted for this but is all about the money for apple, if the charge another £20 for another update & get the same figures for lion ape is winning. Yes £20 is cheap as you bought/are about to buy an expensive mac but all these things could of been implemented in Lion or given as a free update. Apple is taking advantage of the sheep, me included which I don't like.

Down me vote We are the ones spending huge amounts on apple products while apple gets the rewards.
 
Just got an email from dropbox; my public folder just got suspended due to "excess traffic." Ha! Good luck to all those who haven't gotten it yet.

make sure you have the email listed on your iphone to send to two locations.. the same you listed in the message app.
 
It works great!

I am waiting on my iPad 3 now, lol. 3 weeks away!

iPhone + iPad + Macbook = MUST haves!
 
Is really the only way of getting ML through the App Store? There is no .dmg that will be upped somewhere publicly?😛

Sorry, I meant ML, not Messages.

How about finally putting out an iBooks reader for OSX?? Kind of ridiculous that I can't read the Steve Jobs biography on my Mac...

I'd like to see that too. Seems an odd situation given that OS X/iOS integration is a key feature of Apple's future plans 😕
