By popular request, we put forth here a brief list of informational guides and reviews of Snow Leopard that have been published by various tech sites:

Ars Technica’s thorough review of Snow Leopard

Apple’s list of software that is incompatible with Snow Leopard

Apple’s support document on printing and adding printers in Snow Leopard

Macworld’s guide to installing Snow Leopard*

*NOTA BENE: We always recommend that our clients check in with us before installing ANYTHING.  For all other Mac users out there who are itching to install Snow Leopard, please make sure you backup your machine before installing!

Macrumors, the New York Times and others reported yesterday that the Mac Box Set version of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard was available on the Apple Store website yesterday.  The listing apparently noted the box set as shipping within 24 hours, but is now no longer available on the Apple Store site.

This siting has fueled speculation that the release of Snow Leopard could come as early as August 28, instead of the September launch that was announced earlier this summer.

Lots of exciting news announced at the 2009 WWDC today!  Some of the biggest highlights from the conference:

iPhone News

• New iPhone 3GS will be available on June 19th.  Only major improvements seem to be better battery life and faster processor.  Our techs were wishing for 802.11n on the new iPhone, but alas, no.
• A more affordable iPhone!  The current 8GB iPhone 3G is now $99!
• iPhone OS 3.0 will be available free to all iPhone users on June 17th.  Has several new features and improvements on existing features.
• Incredibly useful service “Find My iPhone” will be available to MobileMe customers.  Users can login to MobileMe from any browser and locate their iPhone on a Google Map.  Great theft deterrent!
• Lost or stolen iPhones can be wiped clean of all data with a remote command.  If the iPhone is found, the data can be restored from a backup.

Apple Notebook News

• MacBook Air is reduced in price and given faster processors.  The new 1.86GHz is now $1,499 and the new 2.13GHz is $1,799.
• The 13″ aluminum MacBook is now part of the MacBook Pro line.  It now has a FireWire 800 port AND an SD card slot.  The new 15″ MacBook Pro also has the SD card slot, but the 17″ MacBook Pro is keeping the ExpressCard/34 slot.
• Prices on the entry level MacBook Pro models have been reduced by $300!

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard News

• Among the improvements and additions, Snow Leopard will have faster Time Machine backups, better iChat and Microsoft Exchange server support.
