Apple Releases OS X Mountain Lion to Developers
Apple just released a preview of their next operating system called OS X Mountain Lion to OS X developers. If you have a development account you can get the preview in the portal.
There are a ton of new features. Most of them are pulled straight from iOS such as, iMessages, Notification Center, and Game Center. The developer preview of Mountain Lion also introduces Gatekeeper, a revolutionary security feature that helps keep you safe from malicious software by giving you complete control over what apps are installed on your Mac.
As a bonus, Apple also released a public beta version of the new iMessages app. This new messaging application will replace iChat. Go and grab the public beta and test it out.

iMessage Waiting for activation
This post is currently about the iOS 5 beta 1, but may apply to future versions of iOS 5.
Are you having issues with iMessage not activating? This is very similar the the FaceTime issues where it says waiting for activation. You may find that iMessage will activate if you add another email address. When you do this you may also see an iMessage phone number error.
When you turn on iMessage under the message settings you will see a FaceTime message pop up saying your carrier may charge for SMS messages used to activate FaceTime. Click OK. Go out of settings and try sending a text message to someone you know who is running iOS 5. This will help manually activate iMessage.
Also in the Message settings you will see Received At. Click on that and enter your Apple ID email address and a few other email address if you want. As long as you have a valid email address you will be able to send and receive iMessages but you may have an error receiving them from a phone number if you are on a non approved carrier like T-Mobile. Currently I am on an officially unlocked iPhone 4 running iOS 5 beta 1 on the Tmobile network. I can send and receive iMessages but only with an email address. It shows that there is an error activating with my phone number.
We are working on finding a solution to this problem. Hopefully Apple will fix it before the official release of iOS 5.
iMessages can be sent between iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
