Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

Generally, when we review things they're pretty basic products—they work with one or a handful of devices, perform a particular function, and work generally the same for everyone. This makes it really easy to compare against a baseline of expectations. If you've already downloaded and installed Lion, this review will probably not tell you anything new. However, if you're not an early adopter and are wondering what the fuss is about, I decided to review Apple's latest operating system for Mac users and judge if you add it to your list of App Store purchases...

Often we find fingerprints and smudges on various computer displays. Although we don't go out of our way to do it, there's always some person who points at something and inadvertently touches the display. There's also dust to worry about.

We've reviewed numerous iPod cases over the years, but what if you want to carry other devices, like mobile phones?
