Just swipe four fingers down on the Trackpad and Notification Center comes in from the top of the screen, just like on iOS. Notification Center for Mac OS X would also be nice. I want to be able to stream from my iPhone to my Mac Mini and even from my MacBook Air to my Mac Mini. I don’t want to be limited to streaming from my iPhone to AppleTV. In my opinion an AppleTV is too limited, so I’ve connected a Mac Mini to my television. I also want AirPlay, but I don’t want to stream to AppleTV. So, if I’m just browsing the internet on my MacBook Air, why can’t I just receive my iMessages there? Why do I have to pick up my iPhone everytime a message is deliverd on the telephone? Why do I need to pick up my iPhone everytime I receive a message? If those messages can be delivered on an iPad or iPod Touch, it should also be possible to deliver them on my Mac. I really want iMessage and AirPlay for Mac OS X. Side note: even without iMessage, you can send SMS through iChat right now just by using AIM or Google Chat and messaging a phone number prefixed with a +, although standard SMS rates apply for the recipient. ( Siri & iMessage graphics on this page are mockups) Other Siri related rumors suggest the AI agent would act as the remote control on a potential Apple television set. The reason may simply come down to marketing, with Siri being a prominent feature of commercials for the iPhone 4S, it’s unlikely that Apple would dilute a key marketing component of the 4S by spreading the technology around to other hardware. In all probability, Siri won’t be coming to any other hardware, be it iOS or Mac based, until the next generation iPhone is released. While all of these claims are in the realm of obvious speculation, some features shouldn’t be expected to appear anytime soon. Siri would offer a significant improvement in voice recognition, dictation, and a new way to search on the Mac platform. Separately, we’ve also heard an unverified claim that Siri could replace the existing Speech Recognition module and have ties into Spotlight for a future version of Mac OS X. If standalone apps are released, it wouldn’t be surprising to have iMessage and AirPlay be downloads from the Mac App Store much like FaceTime was before it became bundled with the OS X 10.7 release.īringing iMessage and AirPlay to the current version of OS X is similar to what Kevin Rose mentioned recently about Siri, who stated a rumor that the AI agent would be released for OS X Lion next year. 9to5mac indicates there is a possibility that iMessage will be released as a standalone product, rather than being integrated directly with the existing instant message client iChat. Although neither project may see the light of day, they are definitely on the table for release in future versions of OS X Lion.ĪirPlay would allow a Mac user to wirelessly mirror their Mac display to an Apple TV, and video streaming would be integrated with QuickTime. Sources familiar with the future of Mac OS X say that AirPlay Mirroring and an iMessage application are currently in development. 9to5mac has since heard that AirPlay and iMessage for the Mac are currently in development for OS X Lion. Rumors of iMessage coming to Mac OS X started earlier in the year when code snippets were found that suggested iChat may get iMessage integration.
