Apple Plans To Launch OS X Mountain Lion In Late July?

At Worldwide Developers Conference this month, Apple announced that it would release OS X Mountain Lion through its Mac App Store in July. Apple also said that users of Snow Leopard and OS X Lion would buy the new OS at an upgrade price of $19.90. After the conference keynote, the company also issued a “near-final” build of its new OS to developers for testing purposes.

Now several employees at a company providing technical support service for Apple products claim that their company requires “all hands on deck” from July 22 through 29 in its portables and desktop division to provide support for unspecified event.

Speculation turns to the launch of OS X Mountain Lion, although some customers may hope that new Mac mini and iMac could be released at the same time. Last July Apple scheduled simultaneous software/hardware launch, introducing new Mac mini and MacBook Air along with OS X Lion.
