New MacBook Air unlikely to hit shelves until 'Lion' starts roaring - International Business Times

According to rumors circulating on the Internet, Apple has called stops on the release of its new MAcBook Air until OS X Lion's launch is finalized. Lion is expected to hit the market in July.

Reports say Apple's Chinese manufacturing partners could be ready to ship MacBook Air hardware, but that Apple would rather have the new version of its ultra thin notebook have latest of Mac OS X, which will be the eighth upgrade of its desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.

Current MacBooks are powered by Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), which was released in June 2009, and the OS X Lion represents a quantum leap forward in terms of OS advancement.

Besides supporting Apple's new iCloud services, the Mac OS X Lion, which was unveiled at the WWDC, sports more than 250 new features and 3,000 new developer APIs. Apple had promised the new version will be available to customers in July as a download from the Mac App Store for $29.99.
