| Quick Look
How often do you search through multiple files waiting to load up each one only to find it’s not the one you’re after? A time wasting and annoying process. Quicklook solves this problem. Find the file hit the space bar and the file opens in Quicklook, you can skip through the pages of a document, play video, view files, the lot.
Data Detectors
This feature in Apple Mail picks up of key items of data in emails and allows you to easily utilise it. For example if a client emails you a meeting time and address you can rollover the address, click, and you’ll be taken to that address in Google Maps, almost instantly. Rollover the time, click, and the time and other details will create a meeting in iCal. Magic.
iChat
This new version of iChat is similar to the old version but with steroids injected. This version of iChat enables you to video conference with someone and whilst you’re doing this you can bring up files on screen and show others in the chat the files. So you can iChat to remote offices or clients and easily and clearly talk them through new creative work, changes etc. Oh and you can superimpose a background image onto your chat so if you want to appear to be at the beach you can or if you’re at the beach and want to appear at the office, same goes!
All this is not to say Leopard is flawless, there are still some bugs to be worked out and the new iCal excludes some key functions that were in the old version but all in all Leopard is poetry in motion.
