Coverflow to Come to Mac OSX 10.5

by Terrence O'Brien on June 11, 2007 at 01:59 PM



We're sure you're familiar with that gorgeous feature of iTunes called Coverflow that allows you to flip through your albums in glossy 3D. At today's Apple keynote, Mr. Jobs has seen fit to extend that feature to the next version of the Finder, the file browser built into OS X 10.5, otherwise known as Leopard. In a nutshell, you will be able to flip through your files with live 3D previews of their contents -- all without opening their associated applications.

This works for files, devices, drives and applications -- even over your home network.

The new version of Finder makes browsing and sharing files between computers and over networks easier, and integrates with .mac (Apple's e-mail and remote storage service) to allow remote access to your files on your Mac through the Internet. This new feature is called 'My Mac' and may make remote access... well, accessible, to the masses. No more clunky services like 'Go To My PC' needed.

Your move, Mr. Gates.
