“Lion is going to bring a lot of iOS back to the Mac. We’re going to see revamped user interfaces for Mail, iCal, borrowing from those icon metaphors and UI styles,” Alvares writes. “Everything is going to look much cleaner than before, much like QuickTime X did with its previous version (though I hope not at the cost of power and functionality). But where iOS segregates its functionality into ‘apps’, the Mac will feature a more integrated workflow of its different services. Imagine the Mail app featuring the Address Book and iCal interfaces in one single glorified window. The same addressbook showing up in iChat, ready for FaceTime.”
Alvares writes, “The thought of running iOS apps on a mouse/keyboard environment is sour at best, and Apple would never go for it. Those are touch based user interfaces, depending on a lot of functionality inherent on those devices, that would not work on any Mac as we know it. They just wouldn’t work. But what if Apple introduces a new way of writing Mac specific applications that are kind of like iOS apps?”

Simple improvements like offering widescreen preview in Mail is LONG OVERDUE and should never have to wait for the next OS.
Please Apple, deliver simple improvements between your 18-24 month OS upgrade cycle.

Mac OS X is dying. The new king will be iOS. We will start to see Apple go down this path. Desktop computers will become larger variations of the iPad. I’m excited, the rest of the world is catching up and Apple is headed for the future at full speed. I believe Lion will be the first hybrid Apple OS.

If it _is_ a full version of what we know as Mac OS X, I’d like these:
– Resolution independence.
– iTunes rewritten fully in Cocoa.
– Modern file system replacement for HFS+

Okay Apple, the cats had a nice run but now it’s time OS X took to the sky in search of loftier heights.
Let’s start with birds of prey, like Falcons, please!

What if my iPad was the interface necessary to run iOS apps on my Mac or Apple TV?
Makes sense to me, sitting comfortably in a recliner, or on the bed with my iPad playing Angry Birds on the TV or my Mac. Instead of using the iPad’s display for animation, use the screen for score boards, virtual controls, maps, instant-replay, IM and chat, etc.
And then I woke up…
