Any switcher will notice this, Apple OS X’s applications communicates with each other in an impressive way.

DEMO !

1- Let’s say, you meet a friend you haven’t seen a long time ago, and he gives you his new phone number and email, you save them in your mobile phone
2- you come back home, you launch iSync, a new entry is created in your address book and the phone number and mail address are added (which means no need to open address book, add an entry, type your friend’s name etc…)

3- you launch iCal and you create a meeting with that friend, in the attendee field as soon as you start typing, iCal autocompletes the field with your friend’s name

4- to invite that friend all you have to do is to click on “Send”, and Apple mail will send a mail to you friend to notify him of that event (as a result you won’t need to open your mail, type the address of your friend, describe the meeting (time and place) and send the mail)

On your friend’s side:
1- he will receive a notification mail from you with a link, once he will click on that link,
2- iCal will open and add the notification,
3- he will sync his mobile phone with iSync and he’ll find the invitation in his phone’s calendar.

So great… But Leopard will push Mac Apps to communicate even more!
