Now that Lion’s out, you’d be forgiven for expecting iCloud integration to require a minimum spec of OS X 10.7. It’d also be understandable if you thought Apple was done updating Snow Leopard.
You’d be wrong on both accounts, though. Apple is indeed updating Snow Leopard one more time with version OS X 10.6.9… and it’ll bring iCloud integration to Snow Leopard.
According to a notice that appeared in one dev’s .Mac preference pane in Tiger after he upgraded his MobileMe account to iCloud, “iCloud requires a computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.9 for Contacts, Calendars, and Bookmarks.”
Apple, of course, hasn’t announced the minimum specs for iCloud, only saying on iCloud’s promotional pages that “some features of iCloud require iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2, or a Mac computer with OS X Lion or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 recommended).”
Provided that message isn’t a fluke, seems like good news for Snow Leopard users. I know a few people who are holding off on upgrading to Lion, and it’s good to know Apple won’t be forgetting them.
