New OS X 10.8 beta adds iOS-like location-based reminders


The second developer preview of OS X Mountain Lion, which was seeded to developers on Saturday, introduces support for location-based reminders in the Reminders app. In developer preview 1, users could only create due date-based reminders.
 
Interestingly, it appears the Mac itself will track your location when connected to Wi-Fi and alert you when you arrive at the specified location, just like an iPhone would.
The reminders can also be synced over the air to iOS devices using iCloud, meaning you can create a reminder from your computer and be reminded by your iPhone when you arrive at your destination. I don’t know about you, but I’m personally looking forward to never again walking all the way upstairs to track down my iPhone and create a reminder before I forget what I needed to do.
