Something that Apple did not really reveal to the public yet is a cool little feature in QuickTime X in Snow Leopard: Screen Recording. Gina Trapani over at Lifehacker.com captured some screens of QuickTime X in action in the WWDC Developer’s Build of Snow Leopard, and discovered that this is a neat new feature that still did not function perfectly. She noted that the sharing of the post-recorded screen is still buggy, but this is a feature that will definitely be fixed by the final version in September, as Apple promised.
Apple seems to have taken a fancy in killing out third-party software makers by including these features in its core operating systems. For one, QuickTime X’s screen recording capabilities will likely destroy products like Snapz X Pro, ScreenFlow, Screenium, and other screencasting software. Another example is the inclusion of a simple Voice Memos app in the iPhone 3.0 Software Update. What is going to happen to all the voice recording apps in the App Store?
