"My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be showing you some of the new features in Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. The next thing I'm going to show you are some of the features they've added to Address Book. So go over here to Address Book and open it right up. Ok it opens right up to an Apple Store. Go figure. So one of the neater features they've got, is now it automatically highlights the address, and you can right click on it, and you can do "map of". Click on this, and it opens up your default browser and it gives you the Google Map location exactly there. For example this Apple Store is in a mall, and it shows you how to get directions. All the usual Google Map stuff. Pretty neat. I'll also close that. Another neat feature is you can click on a contact, right click on it, and export like you always could, edit like you always could. You could spotlight that name so you could search for it to see if, for example, you had any documentation about it. Or search for a person's name. You can go through an email, things like that, which is kind of neat. There's also a feature that allows you to sync with your yahoo list, your yahoo contacts, which is kind of handy. It's just too bad that there's not a way to sync up with your Google contacts yet. Give it time and I'm sure they'll do that. That's really about all they added to the Address Book. It just looks a little prettier, too."
