I would not be surprised if apple pushed imessage to the Mac.
Everything from iOS is just about on the Mac.

And yet there hasn't been a single documented bugfix that I've seen.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/25/mac-os-x-lion-10-7-2-beta-brings-icloud-support-no-bug-fixes/

And that article is from July 25, pretty old don't you think so?

I think it would work via a apple id. Like FaceTime for the Mac. Imessage for iPad and iPod touch are based on apple id, and wifi. Apple can just as build a app for the Mac.

Funny how no known issues are reported yet I have a ticket in that has been put as a critical issue and noted by others. The issue is still there. Maybe there unsure where the issue lies. Could be iCloud or Lion or a combination.

 

[duaneu]

So I'm guessing the 8th, then? Last years was on a Wednesday and Apple are creatures of habit...

The 8th was three days ago, so probably not a good guess...

Guessing by what people are saying, have been saying.

They will hold off on a meda event, till they have GMs for iOS, OSX, and icloud.
Why hold a event if they are not near ready.
If all three key OS's are still buggy, and need work. It could be awhile.
Remember spring(for me)(fall for the rest) can still go till dec

All 10.x.x updates include bug fixes. The only reason the first release of 10.7.2 didn't include listed bug fixes was because 10.7.1 hadn't been released yet.

According to the seed note, 10.7.2 includes fixes in the following areas:

- AddressBook
- GraphicsDrivers
- iCal
- iChat
- iCloud
- Mac App Store
- Mail
- MobileMe
- Safari
- Spotlight
- Time Machine

 

[alectheking]

Yep. Which means the event is still atleast 2 weeks away!!

Um, if invitations go out tomorrow, that would be 1 week.

Are we still on iOS beta 7???

iMessage, AirPlay, iBooks...

Apple needs to step up their game. Especially with the iBooks. I would be buying books from them if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't view it on my computer. Kindle does

Well who do you think feels pretty stupid now?! Haha what I meant was, probably the 22nd. THAT IS SO FAR AWAY

Top 3 things I want to see in 10.7.2:

- Bug fixes
- Bug fixes
- Bug fixes

I agree, but I also want to add: Bug fixes.

Yes, unfortunately we are. It's much better, but not GM ready yet. I think we will see another beta before the GM.

That's fine and dandy but the vast majority of those to iCloud. Apple listed graphics drivers as being a focus in 10.6.8 but there weren't actually any improvements on them.

Grrrr.
All of the betas suck.
But I would rather have a bug free iOS.

That's fine and dandy but the vast majority of those relate to apps related to iCloud. Apple listed graphics drivers as being a focus in 10.6.8 but there weren't actually any improvements on them.

I think icloud is the main issue here. And that's what's holding everything up. Maybe.

Who knows. I don't think apple does.

It's just things they're supposed to be working on. They may not actually change much of anything in most of those products, although I hope they at least deal with the bugs.

EDIT: Also, Intel... For christ sake, learn to write drivers. The Intel HD 3k is just about the only GPU on the market not capable of OpenGL 4.0. It doesn't even seem to be capable of 3.2 on Lion. This is completely unacceptable. There is even a bug that prevents you from switching to the Core profile. It's compatibility or nothing on an HD 3k. They finally have decent hardware in their GPUs that at least make them competitive, but not the drivers to back them up.

Apple needs to step up their game. Especially with the iBooks. I would be buying books from them if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't view it on my computer. Kindle does

I would be buying books from them if they made them available in Europe/Sweden. Currently we're only getting access to free books from Project Gutenberg.

 

[Peace]

If folks are gonna post this stuff at least get it right.


Focus Areas

- AddressBook
- GraphicsDrivers
- iCal
- iChat
- iCloud
- Mac App Store
- Mail
- MobileMe
- Safari
- Spotlight
- Time Machine

Those are areas devs should focus on and are not a list of bug fixes.

How does it work?

Now that this integration is in place, does this mean we might get to understand a bit more how this works from a Lion UI perspective? Does iCloud appear in Finder with a folder structure just like MobileMe does? The marketing blurbs all seem to point to the "iCloud is the OS" type of vagueness but I want confirmation there is still some folder structure there.

If I had 100+ x-type files I wanted in iCloud (and x-type IOS app supported iCloud document sync for these files) how will those files appear in the IOS version of the app? It won't be one big-a$$ list of all your iCloud files will it? I'd just like some validation that you can drill down within your iCloud to different sub-folders, like you can with MobileMe (or dropbox or any other cloud based storage service).

I would buy books from them too.
I'm from New Zealand, and we don't have any books(part from free ones)
There's New Zealand books on the UK and Aus iBooks. Grrr

And don't get me started on tv shows.

I could see iBooks working on macs now, with the full muliti touch power.

Do you know if icloud works with aperture?
