New OS X Possible Next Week

With the clock ticking toward the end of July, it is likely that Apple will release the new version of OS X, Mountain Lion, next week. Apple reports quarterly earnings on Tuesday, and rumor has it that Apple Store employees have been asked to work extra hours next week. Mountain Lion will be distributed online, via the Mac App Store, but store employees might just be preparing to answer questions and provide assistance.
Rumors are building in advance of the fall release season for Apple. There are reports of the next generation of iPhones being manufactured, a small-screen iPad, and new iMacs. Apple usually tries to introduce new hardware before the end of October for the holiday shopping season, so it is likely that we’ll see updates and new products in the coming months.
