Apple clearly considers its new App Store-based distribution model one of the crucial biggest advances in Lion , and to the company’s credit, we found the entire thing to be quite painless. But physical media devotees needn’t worry an excessive amount of — the corporate quietly announced at launch that the newest version of OS X can be available on a USB key, for the lofty price of $69 — which, incidentally, still requires Snow Leopard, unlike what have been previously reportedly. Word hit today that the corporate has finally issued the flash drive version of the software, information gleaned from an internal document reportedly leaked by AppleCare. We’ve it on good authority, however, that the drives mentioned within the document aren’t, after all, the aforementioned sticks. Rather, the “recovery media” discussed is really a restoration tool for AppleCare employees, used to repair faulty systems. We hate to be the burster of bubbles, however seems that the App Store-impaired will still must wait until later this month to get their hands at the $70 Apple dongle.
