Last week, we noted that Apple had begun sending emails to at least some current MobileMe users offering them free copies of Mac OS X Snow Leopard in order to assist them with ultimately upgrading to OS X Lion in advance of MobileMe’s discontinuation at the end of June. Lion is required for full compatibility with iCloud, Apple’s free service that replaces many of MobileMe’s features.

Several readers who requested free copies of Mac OS X Snow Leopard have reported receiving their shipments over the past day or two, with each disc arriving with a printed copy of the software license.
The discs contain Mac OS X 10.6.3, the standard retail version of Snow Leopard. After upgrading their systems to Snow Leopard using the disc, users will have to upgrade again to Mac OS X 10.6.8 via Software Update. Once that upgrade is completed, users can access the Mac App Store and purchase OS X Lion for $29.99.
The free Snow Leopard upgrade effectively cuts in half the fee for pre-Snow Leopard users to upgrade to Lion, as they would ordinarily have to purchase Snow Leopard on disc for $29 and then Lion through the Mac App Store for $29.99. By targeting the program at existing MobileMe members who have yet to transition their accounts to iCloud, Apple hopes to encourage as many users as possible to make the move before MobileMe services are officially turned off.
(Thanks, Ben!)

As noted by Macgasm, Apple has begun notifying at least some MobileMe users of a new upgrade program offering a free copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The offer is being made to provide users of machines running older versions of Mac OS X with a reduced-cost pathway to upgrade to OS X Lion, which is required to take full advantage of the features of iCloud.

With OS X Lion being distributed via the Mac App Store, users need to have Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed on their systems in order to access the store. Consequently, users still on Mac OS X Leopard or earlier would have to pay $29 to upgrade to Snow Leopard via disc and then an additional $29.99 to upgrade to Lion via the Mac App Store in the absence of the new upgrade program. With MobileMe set to be discontinued in favor of iCloud as of June 30, Apple is clearly seeking to encourage MobileMe users to move their accounts to iCloud.In an article sent to MobileMe customers, Apple has recommended that potential customers get in touch with Apple to receive a free DVD of Snow Leopard so that users can upgrade to Lion, and move to iCloud. All you have to do is follow this link, log in to MobileMe with your Mobile Me account, and fill out your mailing information. Apple will then send you a Snow Leopard DVD for free.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard remains available in the Apple online store for $29, suggesting that the offer is a targeted program intended for MobileMe members who need to upgrade their systems in order to move to iCloud rather than a general price cut for all purchasers of Snow Leopard.

Install Windows 8 Metro UI on iPad – Video . Win8 Metro Testbed app for the Apple iPad is developed by Splashtop, a well known company that have developed many such useful apps. With the help of this app, you can use all of Windows 8 gestures, play with the different UI, swipe and tap at things and develop Metro based apps for future use.
However, you will need to have a Windows PC nearby, to stream all of that into your iPad. Yup, this is a remote desktop app, something similar to OnLive Desktop app.



Here’s what Win8 Metro Testbed has to offer you:
Swipe from the right for the Charms menu
Swipe from the left to switch apps
Pull down from the top to close the app
Swipe slowly from the left to run two apps side-by-side
Pinch to do Semantic Zoom
And many more gestures for you to explore!
All this doesn’t come cheap. Hence, if you were looking for a way to develop Windows 8 Metro apps, or just randomly enjoy the Metro UI on your iPad, then this is the app that you need to buy. You’ll need to spend $25, which is not cheap for a remote desktop app, so decide what you want to do!
You can purchase Win8 Metro Testbed from the App Store for a limited time price of $24.99.
