More Than Just Leopard: New Applications Are Coming
2007-10-22
With all the excitement about Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard in the air, it is easy to forget why we have computers in the first place: applications.
Once Leopard finally gets into the hands of mere mortals on October 26th, the application marketing dam will break. Finally all the developers who spent an extra four months polishing and tuning their recent creations will be free of Apple's NDA shackles and be showing off the fruits of their toil. It should be very interesting, and I believe will cement my belief that Leopard demonstrates OS X nearing a mature state. There will be many apps that are Leopard only. Why? Because Leopard apps can be written so much faster than was possible on Tiger. Certainly anything I write from here on out will be for Leopard.
Scott Stevenson has a sneak peek at Delicious Library, but for a few more days, we cannot see any more.
