Live at the Beacon Theater (November 2011, but close enough) - Louis CK releases his comedy special through his web site for $5 instead of through HBO or another distributor, and makes Internet history. Also, it's funny.
Dangerously Delicious - Aziz Ansari went the same route as Louis CK and it was also funny.

Sega's been doing some good work releasing classic Dreamcast games for iOS, like Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio. Also Sonic CD.

Fusion Drive - Because spinning drives are slow and SSDs are small and expensive. I'm classifying this as software instead of hardware because the cool business is in the logical volume special sauce that makes the 2 discrete drives work together.
Mountain Lion
Pixelmator 2.0 (late 2011, close enough) introduced content-aware fill and other fancy features
Tower is a pretty good Git GUI for OS X, although it's pretty slow with big repos
