The net is currently buzzing with breaking news that Apple may announce the release of OS X 10.7 “Lion” on October 20th. Apple have today sent invitations to media inviting them to an event on October 20th. The invite simply reads “Back to the Mac” and shows the image of a lion behind a metallic Apple logo.
Speculation is rife over the cryptic invite but Electronista suggests that a “revolutionary” new OS X 10.7 could be the big news. It points out that in July, Apple announced that:
We are looking for a senior software engineer to help us create a revolutionary new feature in the very foundations of Mac OS X. We have something truly revolutionary and really exciting in progress and it is going to require your most creative and focused efforts ever.
Although it doesn’t seem long enough since July to develop a revolutionary OS X, most people are betting that OS X 10.7 is the big event. More news will surely emerge over the next few days, so watch this space…
