Send iMessages from your Mac
Mac OSX Mountain Lion was just announced today, among the new features is iMessage for the Mac, aka “Messages”. Messages is still in beta and you can download it from the apple website. With Lion, and now Mountain Lion, Apple seems to be bridging the gap between iOS and OSX more and more and iMessage on OSX has to be my favorite part of that so far. No longer will I have to stop doing what I’m doing on the computer to reply to a message. All messages that get sent or received from either device all sync as well.
It does seem a little buggy though. There was one message that Messages didn’t receive at all, and it seems pretty slow. I get iMessages on my phone way before I see them on the computer.
Mountain Lion isn’t set to come out until this summer though, hopefully these kind of issues get sorted out.
