What problems is Apple OS X Mountain Lion solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Problem: Prior to Mountain Lion, the Mac operated largely as a standalone island. If you created a note, a reminder, or a document on your iPhone or iPad, getting it onto your Mac required clunky manual syncing, emailing files to yourself, or dealing with the sunsetting MobileMe service.

The Benefit to me: It automated data consistency. You could type a quick thought or a grocery list on your phone while walking, and it would instantly be waiting on your desktop when you sat down at your Mac. It eliminated the cognitive friction of trying to remember where you saved a piece of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
