Section three: Mac OS X apps

The applications in this section are productivity applications that were designed specifically to run on the latest version of the computer world's state of the art operating system, Mac OS X. The following chapters explore the applications that let you efficiently organize, create, and manage email, contact information, calendars, and to-do lists: Mail, Address Book, and iCal.

Mac OS X also includes communication applications that make it convenient, efficient, and fun to be productive: iChat AV provides instant messaging in text, audio, and video formats for keeping communication lines open with family, friends, and associates. Bonjour makes file-sharing and communication on a local network effortless. Safari, Apple's custom-built web browser, offers top browsing speed and cutting-edge features such as Private Browsing and RSS news feeds.
