WWDC: New Tiger Features
Today Apple introduced many new features that will be arriving in Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) in the first half of 2005. The multiple screenshots leaked on Friday turned out to be true... proving (again) that most individuals can not conclusively determine fakes vs real screenshots

Spotlight

iChat AV

Tiger looks cool. I was especially impressed with the Automater feature. The search thing looks good as well. I want to see how the Meta data system is implemented..if done right, this could be a break through.
I am disappointed about the lack of new Hardware announcements, but 10.4 looks really cool.
:D :D :D

Tiger seems like a decent update. The search function is impressive. Sure there will be a lot of people complaining about why they didn't get their G5 iMac.

Well, now we know. What a let down. Monitors are awesome, but no 17" cinema is a big mistake and a real disappointment. For a mere 7K you can have it all, but I only have $700 :(
So, what's so special about Tiger? Some minor improvements but nothing earth shattering or groundbreaking. Still better than Windows, but I guess I was expecting something much more exciting than this.
On the brighter side however, Tiger will have to ship with the new G5 Powerbook next year. Time to save my pennies.

Tiger looks really cool.
I like its new features, definitely not as much as we were hoping for, but still pretty cool.

Tiger looks nice, and they have plenty of time to tweak it... but the konfabulator stuff is a low blow

I hate the aqua blue apple menu. What is up with that?
All in all, it was ok. Not many big surprises, and I don't see many "normal people" features in Tiger....but I like spotlight a lot.
5 out of 10. :cool:

Any mention of price reduction for the older 20" and 23" displays? I notice the only older model on Apple's website is the 17".

Of course Tiger is not finished yet so im sure there are other features to be done
Looking at the Info on Apple.com it doesn't look as bad then it was when we were looking at the leaked pictures
