Tiger introduces a new feature called Dashboard, which provides a new and unique class of mini-applications called Widgets. While Dashboard will be a powerful feature for Tiger users, for developers it introduces a rich new development environment.

Widgets are perfect for working with small amounts of data or interacting with other applications, both on your desktop and across the web.
