Big Upgrades for Apple Mac OS X Yosemite

Among the updates are iCloud Drive, Air Drop that works between iOS and Mac, and phone calls on the Mac desktop.

Apple today unveiled a new version of its Mac OS X software, dubbed Yosemite.

Developers will get access to Yosemite today, while the public will get it in the fall. Like the previous version, Mavericks, it will be a free upgrade.

Craig Federighi, senior vice president of Software Engineering at Apple, joked during his Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) presentation that Apple execs took a road trip to hunt for the best follow-up name to Mavericks. After passing on Mac OS X Oxnard, OS X Rancho Cucamonga, and OS X Weed, they landed on Yosemite.

As for what Yosemite includes, Federighi talked up the "clarity and utility" of the operating system.

The major theme of Yosemite is Continuity, which provides for a deeper link between Mac and iOS when users are signed into iCloud.

As part of this Continuity concept, AirDrop will now work between iOS and Mac rather than just iOS devices.

Okay as a Mac user this sounds good to me...
There is some interesting stuff in there - espeically the new integrations between your phone and your desktop OS X.
