TapDex - Quick access to Address Book contact info
Authored by: macavenger on May 19, '08 07:40:48AM

So basically this is the Apple Address book dashboard widget with a couple of minor additions such as mapping, but without the ability to move it and with the requirement of yet another hot key to memorize/use as well as a one-line ad or else the request to pay? Or am I missing something? :)

I don't like Dashboard widgets, primarily because they dim the screen and takeover the interface when in use. Yes, I know how to put them onscreen, and I know about Amnesty, which converts widgets to apps ... but I still usually prefer alternative solutions. (My machine typically doesn't have any third-party widgets installed; I use the stock tracker, weather, and movie widgets, and that's about it.)

To be fair, TapDex has been around since before Dashboard widgets. If anything, the Dashboard Address Book widget is a ripoff of TapDex. (And what's the difference between memorizing a hotkey for TapDex and memorizing a hotkey for Dashboard?)
