| I for one quite like the new look of Finder / Desktop / Dock in Leopard. It is a little too glamorous in a few spots - I think putting Coverflow in Finder is the computing equivalent of putting pink neons under your car. However the use of stacks, and using metadata to provide multipage previewing capabilities is a very neat way to improve usability. The way Finder is now arranged, with an iTunes source-list style on the left pane, is quite good and would make passing around work in a small office like mine a lot neater. And kudos to Apple for making an iPhone SDK available - it will make it a more viable proposition in the long term.

| I wonder when they will make the latest build/showing available to developers (not at the conf). |

| Sadly, they didn't do that.

| So I see. I just read over the press release, and the wording sounds a little strange and uncertain. It sounds like Apple have decided to do this due to strong public feedback, and are still working out the details.

| Doesn't the new OS X Dock look strangely similar to the dock in Sun Microsystems' Project Looking Glass? ![]() Apple's Dock still looks much better though.... ![]()

| nice find nix -- very similar! I have my dock down the left side, not sure how well that will work with the new dock. No hardware announcements which is disappointing. And still no indication of a new iPod. I realise it is WWDC, so iPod isn't exactly a high priority, but it's been so long between revisions. iPod is really starting to look dated -- I hope Apple aren't completely abandoning the iPod line on the assumption the iPhone will take over. |

If it truly is OS X, it will hopefully be hacked soon after release. There will be no iPod updates until at least September. The whole free iPod when you buy a Mac thing is to get rid of the older models.
