Back to Mac: Lion Coming Summer 2011, Mac App Store in 90 Days

Steve Jobs has just announced the release date for OS X 10.7. It’ll be coming in summer of 2011.

But what about that new App Store? Do developers really have to wait almost a year for it? Nope. The Mac App Store will be released within Snow Leopard within the next ninety days, with App Submissions in November from developers.

That’s amazing. I wasn’t expecting the Mac App Store this generation of OS X, but here it is, coming down the pipe. I only wonder how worth using it’ll be without OS X 10.7 specific new features to make the most of apps within OS X.
