Apple have now released the OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive for those people who can’t, or won’t download Lion. Unfortunately you have to pay £55 for the pleasure.
Here is how Apple describe the drive:
OS X Lion is available on a USB thumb drive for installation without the need for a broadband Internet connection. Just plug the drive into your USB port and follow the instructions to install. OS X Lion is also available for a lower price as a digital download from the Mac App Store.
Personally I think £55 for putting the £20.99 software on a USB thumb drive is a little excessive – that’s £34 for a thumb drive!
