Mmm. No Lion for me then ... My mac's a regular core duo.

Confused about iCloud though - if I use my iPad to sign up to it, how can it not continue to provide email service to a Mac running Snow Leopard? It's just IMAP mail when all's said and done. They have also only just shifted iCal over to CalDAV which is supposed to be standards based. Or are they going to dump standards and devise something new to try to tie people in?
