As easy on the eyes as it is easy to use, Process 3 gives users the freedom necessary to be creative and the flexible framework needed to get things done. All within one versatile window, users can brainstorm, organize, schedule, plan, coordinate, collaborate - and do the work.
Process 3.0 main features include Intuitive user interface, Collaboration (via Bonjour), Styles, Archive, .Mac backup, Autosave, Multiple sources, iCal synchronization, Spotlight support, CoreData, Custom Labels and much more.
Versatility has been enhanced by countless improvements, but probably none is more significant than Process 3 Shared Project capability (based on Bonjour technology). With just a keystroke, a project can now be instantly shared with all the Macs on a local network. Everyone on the network - colleagues, students, business associates or family members - can collaborate on the project and even download and upload attached resource documents. Progress made by anyone is automatically reflected in real time for everyone else to see. Simple pop-up columns can be created for assigning responsibilities for specific project items or tracking their status.

A very cool idea, well implemented.
Springlets (visit from your iPhone) are home screen icons that prompt you for input. Some of the options include:
Wikipedia search
Google ‘I feel lucky’ search
IMDB search
A ‘text site’ proxy that will display a site sans images, to speed things up
and without a doubt the handiest -
speed dial - which lets you enter a name/phone …
