Leapin’ Leopard! Long List of Apps to Debut at Macworld
The 2008 Macworld Conference and Expo marks the first big Apple event since Mac OS X Leopard was released last year. That means we should see a flood of new software releases and updates utilizing Leopard’s many interface and performance enhancements. Even though the latest Mac OS was released into the wild in October of 2007, Macworld could be considered Leopard’s coming out party.
Most of the Mac’s killer apps have already been updated to run on Mac OS X 10.5, leaving only a few big-name applications to officially debut at the show. But for developers big and small, Macworld will be their first chance to publicly demo the latest versions of their creations, so there will be plenty of new apps to check out. Most of the new apps making the rounds won’t require Leopard to run, but the ones that do may prove to be the most exciting thanks to Leopard’s new Core Animation engine.
Here’s a list of what we’re most looking forward to seeing, testing and drooling over at Macworld 2008.
