Today Apple released three EFI firmware updates adding Lion Internet Recovery service to the Mid-2010 iMac, Late 2010 MacBook Air and Early 2010 MacBook Pro. The available updates include MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 2.3 [2], iMac EFI Update 1.8 [3] and MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.6 [4].

Apple introduced Internet Recovery feature on new Mac mini models and MacBook Air released last July along with OS X Lion itself. Lion Internet Recovery allows machine’s firmware to connect to the Web and download the full Lion OS for installation.

By default OS X Lion creates a recovery partition on the hard drive, but for users who can not access their recovery partition or who are installing Lion OS on a blank hard drive, Internet Recovery provides another option for Lion installation.
