The mac comes with an application called Dashboard. You can show and hide the dashboard by pressing a key on your keyboard, and in the dashboard there are little applications called widgets, that you can use to do things fast. For example, there is a weather widget, a calculator, one that lets you access iCal (the calendar) functions quickly, one that lets you control iTunes, there is an ESPN one, a flight tracker...and thousands of others. They are generally accessible, and very helpful.

(was: Syncing contacts to the MAC.)Yes, once your contacts are in the addressbook they will sync to youriPhone. I used Missing Sync to sync my Sprint Mogul phone and then theiPhone synced using iTunes and my contacts were transfered. Also remember that using the business widget and choosing the "add to addressbook" link for things you look up is a great way to add to your addressbook and thesealso will of course sync to your iPhone the next time you sync. I justreally do wish the People widget would go back to being accessible. That's one of the few things that somehow took a giant step backwards!!! -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the linkbelow.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverChecked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.375 / Virus Database: 270.13.8/2224 - Release Date: 07/08/09 05:53:00Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
