There has been a lot of chatter over the Internet for last few months about OS X Mountain Lion, Apple's latest OS for the Mac. Considering Apple is an ever evolving company, with consumers developing a growing admiration for their OS X and iOS operating systems, the company have opted for a new direction with Mountain Lion with an offering that shows the first signs of unity between desktop and mobile.
Remember those murmurings about the possibility of the Mac getting a Cydia-like store? Well, considering the amount of time that has passed with no further updates about the legitimacy of the project, it would seem that we can put that idea in the 'nice but isn't likely to happen' pile.

If you check out the photography section on the iPhone or iPad App Store, you might be shocked at how many applications exist which allow all forms of photograph editing features. Some of the applications are very useful and have an amazing array of options to make photographs look beautiful, but some of them are dreadful and offer no functionality that can't be found through the new editing section of the photos application within iOS 5.

If you were planning on buying a keyboard attachment for your iPad you may want to check out a new app. Type2Phone will allow you to use your Mac’s keyboard to type instead of tapping the keys one by one on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
