Hidden Images at mac.com Indicates New .Mac Features

Posted by pudge on from the but-what-features-i-cannot-say dept.

brotherash writes "Here's an image that describes the new Address Book feature to be added to .Mac on Jan 7th. It is simply a screen shot of the upcoming web-based address book feature with 'coming Jan 7th stamped on it'." I can't tell what's going on in this image. It looks like a new UI for Address Book, but it also might have a .Mac icon in it. We'll find out next week, I guess.

    It's not hidden any more. It's on the .Mac front page.

    Point your browser to apple.com and start typing extensions after the url. Tweak the names using dates, and otherr themes you observe in the urls.

    And have lots of spare time.

    Good luck, Share what you find.

    It's easy. Go to http://www.mac.com. Log in. Look at the giant thing that says, ".Mac address book with contact synchronization available Jan. 7." Submit story to Slashdot. Profit!

    The you would have known that it is not a hidden image, it is on the members home screen with the text underneath:

    "Enjoy access to you key contact infomation anywhere. Your online .Mac Address Book will soon work with iSync so you can have all your key contact information, including addresses and phone numbers up to day. A great feature when you are on the road."

    Too bad i can already do this with my iPod.

    hmm by the choice of non-stories slashdot posts about Apple, it would be nice to have a Mac person working for slashdot. I'll volunteer :)
