Apple May Launch OS X Mountain Lion on July 25

From PC World: Apple will launch OS X Mountain Lion July 25 if it repeats what it did last year when it announced the then-new Lion a day after its quarterly earnings call with Wall Street analysts.

Monday, Apple scheduled its next earnings call for 2:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday, July 24, when the company will reveal revenue numbers for the just-ended April-June quarter.

Last year at this time, Apple used a July 19, 2011, earnings call to announce the scheduled launch of OS X 10.7, aka Lion, for the next day.

"We are very excited to be launching Mac OS X Lion tomorrow," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO, during the early stages of the earnings call last year.

Apple dutifully launched Lion early Wednesday, July 20, from the Mac App Store.

If Apple follows past practice, Oppenheimer will use the earnings call in three weeks to set the release date for Mountain Lion.

So far, the only official word from Apple is that Mountain Lion will debut some time this month. Customers running OS X Snow Leopard or Lion can upgrade to the new edition.
