I found the whole continuity bit and the integration of messages and calls on iOS with OS X very impressive. This is what integration of the desktop and mobile environments is all about and where Microsoft, who thought it was all about look and feel, got everything about integration of them in Windows 8 completely wrong. Great to see that they have also integrated WiFi hotspot, so it automatically allows your hardware to log on when WiFi drops out. That will prove very useful on the road, especially since it's clever enough to turn the hotspot on and off on demand to save battery. Maildrop should be useful too. No more mucking about with multipart emails and Hightail to get round email attachment size limitations.
I await playing with all this when it goes live in my new job, which is in a 100% MacOS/iOS environment. They're making the whole set available to me - 27" iMac, 13" MacBoook Air, iPad and iPhone.
Until Apple start allowing third party apps, like iPllayer, on the Apple TV box it will remain a pile of excrement wrapped in black plastic IMHO.
