Lion just has to be better than this presentation. Resume and Auto-save? Virtually every app that needs those features already has it. Versions? The last thing I want is my hard disk cluttered with hundreds of versions having trivial changes and distinguished only by time stamps. I’d rather decide for myself when a version needs to be saved. Air Drop? Well, it might be slightly better for its primary purpose than Drop Box. Better mail searches? I’d rather they made APIs for GREP searches available to third-party text apps.

Missing thus far is any mention of features that’d bring OS X into the mobile age. OS X still assumes that our only output media are either printers or PDFs for other computers. That’s a decade out of date. The OS X File menu needs a Digital feature that’d export in ePub and tagged text as well as PDF. And it needs to be able to export directly to a user’s mobile devices with options like Send ePub to my iPad and Send Tagged text to my iPhone.

The UI is where I suspect the real action is in Lion, but there Apple’s plans sound a lot like those Microsoft has for Windows 8. The two seem to be traveling down parallel tracks at almost the same time. Who’s copying who? Who cares as long as they get it right.

Hi, folks. We’re sorry you have to scroll down to see the updates on this post. We’re working on getting a better solution for future live blogs, but you’re right, we should have put the most recent updates at the top of this post. The next live blog will be better, I promise.

I don’t mind hitting the refresh. Or can always just wait and watch the show once it is posted on Apple.
