Lion will be available on USB drives come August
Lion borrows several iPad interface features such as multi-touch gestures for navigation and app selection, a homescreen-like Launchpad for organizing apps, and full screen view for individual apps. It also takes advantage of Mission Control for quick access to other applications and application windows, includes system-level support for the Mac App Store, includes a redesigned Mail app, offers improved disk encryption option, document auto-saving, and document versioning.
Mac users that don’t want to wait until August for a physical copy of Lion can use the Mac App Store to download and install it today. Lion is priced at US$29.99, and the USB flash drive version will cost $69.
