10.6 to let you know you're in your house with multi-touch

    Now before you freak out like I did a little, the tracking feature that will be in Snow Leopard will be on par with the original iphone. For those of you who didn't have one or didn't get to play with it, the first generation iphone only showed you about where you where in couple block radius.  So think something like the old style GPS of the early nineties or a bit better.

    Though I have to admit it could really cool for people who travel a lot. Instead of grabbing the map while you are in a coffee shop somewhere on vacation and asking what is nearby to do. You could just jump on to the tracker get a good idea of where you are then search for fun stuff to do online. That's just one idea of how this can be useful.

     From what has been talked about online Snow Leopard will not be a huge leap forward with new toys beyond the tracker and multi-touch. From what I was able to scrounge up on the multi-touch it seems that third party developers will now start working on programs to bring to the new MacBook and MacBook pros, as it is the pinch is nice on Safari and iphoto. But where you will see the improvements is in speed, it seems that Apple this time around will be optimizing how the processor and graphics card work together so that work loads will be spread out more evenly. It sounds promising so we will all just have to wait and see how this all turns out.
