Ever since Apple announced that OS X Lion would only be available from the Mac App Store, concerns have been piling up regarding a number of issues, including how people without fast broadband are supposed to download it. Apple has reportedly answered this complaint by offering up its store’s Wi-Fi networks to the public to use for downloading the update.

This seems like a good idea in theory, (GREAT for Apple, as people can and probably will buy things as they wait for their download to finish), but I wonder how well the connection (and its speed) would really hold up if several hundred people all tried downloading OS X Lion’s 4GB installer at once? I’m sure Apple Retail Stores have a pretty impressive internet infrastructure, so it remains to be seen how this will pan out.

Even with this seemingly generous offer of Apple’s, users of iMacs and Mac Pros may still find themselves in a pickle of sorts (although admittedly, if you own a Mac Pro, you can probably afford quality broadband). It remains to be seen if Apple will offer a solution for people in that category. Anyone planning to wheel their Mac Pro into the store by using a cart like the one pictured above? If you do, send us a video so we can amuse ourselves over and over.
