The Future of Apps

I see a trend in the world of software applications. They are becoming more and more widgetized. That means instead of having large programs capable of many tasks, we are instead seeing smaller programs (like widgets) which perform very specific tasks. One example is AdesClrPicker available on AdesBlog.com. This little color picker app lets you capture the exact color code of any color which appears on your screen. Pretty specific, huh? But for someone who needs this tool and uses it semi-regularly in photography and website design, it can be much more easy to use than opening Photoshop or Corel. This little prograsm just sits in the Windows tray, ready for use:

I really think this trend will continue. It’s just so convient and it’s also a reflection on how we work on the Internet. If you are interested in AdesClrPicker, it’s currently half price and available as the new versionv2.0.
