OS X Lion

Your daily round-up of the day's top tech new from T3.com

There is a lot more Apple news today as it appears OS X Lion will be available to Mac users within the next seven days. New reports also suggest that semi-upgraded iPad due for release in September could be the ‘iPad HD’ and would sport a new high-quality 2048 x 1536p resolution panel. The conclusion of all this week's iPhone rumour-mongering is that Apple will launch two new iPhone handset in September, with one being aimed directly at the mid-range market. Not everything Apple touches is coming up roses though, as one developer Gus Pinto found out when his charger cable caught fire whilst upgrading his iPhone 4 to iOS 5.
