Roarrrrr!
Apple has sent out teaser invites to journalists suggesting the new version of OS X could be revealed at its next major event, while a report has found that 10 percent of US PCs now run on the Mac OS.
The invite gracing journos' inboxes shows a picture of a lion partially hidden behind the Apple logo, suggesting that Apple will probably unleash the next version of its Mac OS, 10.7 Lion at the event, which will take place on 20 October, according to The Daily Telegraph.
Some commentators believe Apple will launch a whole new range of Mac computers too at the event, which slogan is ‘Back to Mac' according to the invite. In particular, many fanboys are crossing their fingers that Apple might unveil its new super-skinny MacBook Air model. Some people also predict the company will lift the lid on versions of iWork and iLife.
While Apple fans will probably not be able to get hold of the new version of OS X until summer of next year, many believe Apple will also take the chance of promoting it further including specific details at its Worldwide Developers Conference scheduled for June 2011.
Meanwhile, new figures from Gartner have shown that Mac sales in the US could be experiencing a halo effect, perhaps due to the success of its iPad tablet.
