All the little things: a WWDC 2006 tidbits roundup


With big events and a ouncements like yesterday's WWDC, there's always a few bits and pieces that manage to fall through the cracks. New product details as well as features and scree hots of new Mac OS X functionality are prime examples, and these bits and pieces are now starting to trickle in. I tead of posting each minor piece of info, we figured it would be better to simply round them all up together, so here we go with the first WWDC 2006 tidbits roundup post of what we've found so far:
  • In the aces video preview at A le's new Mac OS X site, you can clearly make out a new R sidebar item in Mail.a (pictured). This i 't in the dedicated Mail.a preview section and wa 't mentioned on stage. Woo . [UPDATE: Commenter David is right: this R feature is mentioned lower on Mail.a 's preview page, but it i 't featured at all in the demo video. Strange.]
  • In a scree hot of the Dock, a folder on the right side of the divider has a black triangle underneath it, denoting the same 'yes, it's ru ing' UI feedback that a licatio have.
  • iChat is also featured with a new UI sa brushed metal (pictured on left). If it's already been stri ed from iChat, could brushed metal have gone the way of the PowerMac G5 for the rest of Leopard?
  • The Mac Pros are a arently the first (and only?) Intel Mac to not include Front Row and an A le Remote. This also mea (to our knowledge) they don't have an IR port either.
That's it for now. If you've uncovered more juicy new details not mentioned so far from yesterday's keynote, feel free to leave a comment in this post or use our ti form.

Thanks to everyone who sent these in
