As of right now, no noteworthy company actively supports syncing with the Mac. Why is this a disaster you might ask? Because of the growing importance of PDAs in the environments that Apple caters to. One is necessary, while the other is a typical Apple’ish ‘wow’ type of feature (like Exposé was it in Panther).ĭisaster struck the Mac platform at this year’s Palm Developer Conference, when Palm announced that they would stop the development Palm Desktop, their syncing (and more) software for the Mac. I will talk about two of the features I feel will help Apple accomplish this. While Apple should continue to tout the excellent features already in the OS, they need deal-making features to sell their upcoming OS upgrade (presumably X.4). Rendezvous makes networking, whether in private homes or businesses as easy as 1-2-3 – great examples are the integrating in iPhoto and iTunes, XGrid, XCode as well as iChatAV (particularly – just look at the competition: MSN, AIM etc.). They have succeeded in integrating complex technologies without the complexity.Ī great example of this is Rendezvous. Apple has introduced many improvements that goes beyond small incremental improvements to existing technologies (think Quartz Extreme, Rendezvous etc.).
