Mountain Lion Available In July For $19.99

Deadly curious to know exactly when Mountain Lion will be available to download, and for how much? Apple has taken the wraps off the info, saying that it will be available in July for $19.99. Even with that cheap price, if you buy any new Mac starting from today, you'll get the update absolutely free when it is made available next month.

Mountain Lion is said to bring over 1,700 new APIs, including new iCloud features, Dictation support, Game Center, and a new AirPlay Mirroring mode. In addition, Power Nap will help update all your Macs at night when they're not being used.

A new Safari is also included, which is said to sport faster JavaScript and browser benchmarks scores than any other shipping browser, and there's a new sharing feature which makes transferring files all the more easier. Again, all new Macs will get a free update to Mountain Lion, and the update will cost $19.99 for everyone else.
