Following the release of iOS 5, Apple has just released their 10.7.2 update for OS X Lion, bringing full iCloud compatibility to the Mac alongside various bug fixes and performance optimizations.
From the release notes:
The 10.7.2 update is recommended for all OS X Lion users and includes general operating system fixes that improve the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.
