More Snow Leopard Screenshots, Chinese Handwriting Video

A few items we neglected to post from the past week include a new flickr gallery that depicts screenshots from the latest Snow Leopard build (10A354) as well as a Chinese handwriting recognition video (embedded below). The flickr poster writes:

Anything I didn't snap a shot of was because it didn't seem like anything had changed.

Some additional observations:
- Initial setup now warns you if you don't choose a password hint.
- Time Machine menu bar icon is now grayed-out if Time Machine is not configured.
- Clean Up icons command in the Finder now "slides" icons into place instead of them just moving instantly. It's a neat visual effect.
- There is no QuickTime preference pane, and no preferences within the application itself. I theorize that Apple is going to do away with QuickTime Pro entirely.
- Quick Look now works from Open and Save dialogs.

The poster of the images also claims that Snow Leopard will be released in October with the rumored "marble" interface, but that may simply be based on circulating rumors, than on any particular inside knowledge.

Some images highlights include QuickTime Player, QuickTime Share to iTunes, split Terminal, Screen Recording, Scanner Sharing, Text Replacement and much more.

Meanwhile, this YouTube video shows the trackpad handwriting recognition found in the latest build of Snow Leopard:

Nice to see some more perks.

Nothing to really write home about though.

I hope that the trackpad almost becomes like a small tablet. That would be cool!

How about an iPhone or an iPod touch as an input for this ;)

Awesome foreshadowing of handwriting recognition capabilities.
Snow Leopard ought to be full of surprises, as we will likely find out a week from tomorrow.

Quicklook in Save dialogue boxes is nice, but to use it you presumably have to click on a file first. (You can't select a file in a Save dialogue box). This currently applies the name of the file that you click to the file that you're saving which I use all the time. I wonder how this works.

This would be right in line with a very likely iPhone, iPod Touch integration and synchronization with SL:
