Apple Announces OS X 10.9 Mavericks, iOS 7, New Mac Pro

Monday’s Worldwide Developers Conference keynote was packed full of announcements. Apple showed everyone the new look and features of the next generation of both desktop and mobile operating systems. They also introduced new MacBook Air models, a re-designed Airport Extreme and Time Capsule, and gave us a sneak peak of a new Mac Pro model coming out later this year.
The next version of Mac OS X will be called “Mavericks” and will have new features such as Finder tabs, file tagging, flat design in apps like Calendar, better handling of multiple screens, and new iBooks and Maps apps. iOS 7 will have a completely different look with new icons, backgrounds, fonts and colors all around. We can expect both of these in the fall.
Apple also announced a new music service called iTunes Radio. This streaming service lets you listen to music based on criteria you select. It will directly compete with existing services such as Pandora.

    I have a mid 2010 MacBook currently running Mountain Lion.
    Will I be able to run Maverick on this computer?
    The purchase of a new Mac is not in the near future.
    Thank you.

      Apple hasn't release official system requirements yet. I'm pretty sure a 2010 machine should be able to run it -- but is it a MacBook, or a MacBook Pro? I would imagine a 2010 MacBook Pro, yes, but maybe not a 2010 MacBook. You'll have to wait and see.
