Chris Bourdon, Apple’s Mac OS X product marketing manager, hinted yesterday that Dashboard and its Widgets (part of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger) could take the place of Apple’s Sherlock application. “There certainly are, I think, some obvious overlaps between the two of them,” Bourdon said. “I suspect we will see some widgets that are built that have some similar functionality.” Bourdon declined to comment on whether Sherlock will remain part of Mac OS X when Tiger ships. “Sherlock is a really great application. We’re going to see as things flesh out with Dashboard where that goes.”
