Must be. I find it strange that my 2010 MBP can't use AirPlay when my iPhone 4 can work fine. Really hope someone comes out with a hack/mod to fool the OS into thinking I have the proper hardware.

The iPhone 4 can't AirPlay Mirror, it can stream audio and video though. The same thing applies with older Macs.

Good point. Thanks for clearing that up

So how much is it going to break once I update? I need my Mac for work today - I guess I'll hold off for now.

I don't know what you run, but I run some things that are obscure or tie into the OS in non-sandboxy ways, and can say "nothing broke" that I can think of.

Here's a sampling of items that are known good in my ML.

Pref panes that work:

- Growl 1.2.2 (same as Lion, uncheck the update prompt pref)

- Geektool 3.0 (non-app store version)

- Hazel 3.0.10 (had to update!)

- Logitech LCD Manager

- MacFuse

- MenuMeters 1.5

- Perian 1.2.3

- Plantronics Spokes 1.0.2 (USB headset driver)

- Printopia 2.1.5

- Xmarks for Safari 1.4.1

Menu bar apps that worked on latest versions:

- Fantastical

- Dropbox

- Adium

- Xmarks

- Google Drive

- Display Maid

- BetterSnapTool

- Flux

- gfxCardStatus

- Transmit

- Western Digital Drive Manager (USB RAID Manager) - NOTE: This one had to be updated for Lion, with a beta driver http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=114&... and this same beta driver works in Mountain Lion. There does not appear to be a newer driver since that one.

- DisplayLink USB-to-DVI Driver 1.8 (for USB to DVI dongle, I use three monitors)

Apps I updated:

- Parallels 7.0 15104

- MailPlane 3 (build 357)

- Skype 5.8.0.1027

- ScanSnap Manager 3.2L60

- CardIris for ScanSnap 4.0.13

- FlashPlayer for OSX

I've been extremely happy with this update compared to the Snow Leopard to Lion update, where a variety of things needed updates or command line configuration.

Naturally, update Xcode and etc. for the latest command line tools.

Executive summary: absolutely nothing keeping me from getting work done.
