Next OS X app: Calendar?
Quick thought: if Apple is getting a lot of pressure to make Mail fully compatible with Exchange Server, is there a demand to make an app that will handle calendars and appointments from Exchange/Outlook too? Obviously, if they did it it would also be best to make it available system-wide (like Address Book) and make it its own application. Would it follow the UI type of Mail or the Address Book type? (I dare ask that question despite the likely flame war it will start about brushed aluminum appearances -- let's see if we can keep that out for the moment.) But how many everyday users would use this? Is this something only professionals would use, those who would just use Entourage and/or some other more robust solution anyway?
To me, the next big wave of OS X functionality is in communication (as opposed to the digital hub device connectivity): chat, voice, speech, video, etc. A suit of applications that integrate and allow free exchange of this kind of data among various platforms and among other Macs especially would be a very compelling technology for Apple IMO.
