Source: Apple

At the opening keynote to WWDC 2011, Apple just announced that Mac OS X Lion will be available exclusively on the Mac App Store for $31.99. Unlike Snow Leopard, Lion is a “major release” with over 250 new features, including Mission Control (Expose and Spaces combined), full-screen apps, multitouch gestures with the Magic Trackpad and Apple Macbook trackpad support, system-wide application restoration (with TimeMachine style saving of documents and other files), Launchpad for iOS style application launching, a new version of Mail that looks a lot like Mail for iOS with conversation view and last but not least, P2P local filesharing in Airdrop set to replace Flash drives.
