The new Finder is just ***DISAPPOINTING*** and looks uglier than before.

I find the lack of a native sdk to be a bummer for the iPhone. Maybe down the road they can give it a go but it would have been nice to see one now.

Alot of people were disappointed with the Leopard presentation and Leopard itself. I’m not sure what they’re smoking. I really like what I’m seeing. The Quicklook and Coverflow look to be a very slick feature for the Finder. I like what they did with adding Stacks in the Dock but I don’t consider that a feature to drive folks to buy Leopard right away. It’s really a feature that should have been there from the start so many who don’t use the dock much may not care now that they’re use to not using it.

Since I’m a crossplatform guy I’m glad to see Safari for Windows. Not sure I’ll be able to switch from Firefox but I like having good options.

Hi James,

Are you looking to control iTunes without having to hop into iTunes? There are many applications that add iTunes to your menu bar, or allow you to control it with key commands. Do a quick search or two and you’ll be amazed what you find.

I use QuickSilver to control or rate a song it seamlessly from any application and it works like a dream.

I would like iTunes to integrate with the Finder.

Wow…Greg…great work and quick run down.

I agree that not having a SDK could be problematic, but then Apple doesn’t want problems with iPhone like users of Palm and Windows phones have had for a while (can you say reboot).

My Treo 650 reboots at least once a day and usually after a phone call. I live with it since it is only inconvenient, but you get my point.

Looks like I may have to become an Apple Developer to look at Mac OS before October.

Thanks for the great article.

Be careful when trying the new Safari Beta 3 on MacOSX… Many crashes have been reported and the removal is far from being straight forward…

lack of SDK is worse than that.

Do you have to be online to view these ‘apps’?
Do you need to be in a WiFi area?
This will drain battery life signifantly.
What if not in Wifi area?
No freeware apps as cost of hosting far too high as to use it must go to site everytime rather than a one time download.
Games using multitouch.. think again without a SDK.
Half the cool stuff with multitouch… nope.
It’s just insulting as far as I’m concerned and I don’t see why apple cant have an SDK? Worst comes to worse then they have to approve every app before it being released, but so much is lost by being limited to Web2.0 and AJAX.
