Address Book in Jaguar-- any uses?
So I started using my address book, and i really like the format and all. I had a few digital images of some top people, so I formatted them 64 x 64, and then I was thinking I would scan in some more. and then I thought, why?
Other than being able to click on the address book icon in mail and going there to look at the pictures, what purpose do they server? Does ANY other application use them?
I've gotten a few emails with their photograph in the top right corner of every email. I read in the Help section that that's what the address is supposed to do. But I've put pictures in the entries of people who have emailed me in the past 24 hours and their photographs don't appear in front of THEIR emails. I guess these people added vcards or something. Is that possible in Mail? Or is there a picture in the top right corner of my emails now just because I've added my own photo to the address book? If so, is there any way to disable it?
I like the idea of syncing the address book with an iPod, but I probably won't bother to try it until iCal is also out. Is there anything significant that Address Book can do NOW? And if so, is there any purpose to the pictures?

It's also quite likely that other applications will use it in the future. I mean, Address Book has only been available for a week. Give developers time!
Once you have done this, any text messages will be routed to address book, pop up on screen, and then stored as a note with the contact. You can send them too, and dial the mobile phone (saves you finding the damn contact via a craptastic scrolling list). Great stuff.
