With OS X 10.5 Leopard’s hundreds of new features, we’ll be reading about different tweaks and hidden commands for months to come. Forums will be awash with what’s the most useful, what’s the most useless applications and innovations. I must say that one of the most important updates I see coming is with iChat. Now I know most of us use iChat as a social thing, and the majority of us don’t leverage its instantaneous file transfers and quick response via voice, video or text, as much as I think we should. I use it for soft proofing with almost all of my clients, sending files, working through the comping process with designs, and text process with articles. I’m looking forward to being able to consult freely using my desktop instead of  my image, sharing desktops, changing backgrounds so that I can look like I’m on vacation rather than sitting glumly at my desk. Or perhaps the other way around. iChat, if you haven’t read yet, will add a plethora of new features in itself, that will make it a contender for your computing and business time. Blue screen, sharing desktop, showing videos, all these things that can help save us time as we design, and get approval on work. t will probably generate a whole new level of online adult entertainment as well. And that, as we all know, is what really drives technology.
