I finally got a chance to take a look at the new features for Mac OS Tiger. First let me say what's the deal with Microsoft? I'll leave it at that, but, c'mon..! I guess that's why they're calling it "Loooonghorn."
Great Tiger stuff: Dashboard, desktop search, safari rss reader, speech recognition, ink well, automator, ichat AV (maybe i'll start using my isight) etc. Plus sweet itunes and iphoto integration!
One thing i'd like them to work on is ftp and a more robust text editor. They should also start thinking about ways to own the podcasting experience, they have the tools, they just need more integration and promotion. Combine garageband with websharing, itunes, and safari rss. There's something to it. At the very least build a podcast search and management feature into itunes. There still isn't an ideal application out there to handle podcast feeds.
Also this got me thinking... I wish there was a way to combine speech recognition with Yahoo Image Search or flickr and Keynote to create instant presentations on the fly. Why not?
