Commercial Software:

• Sound Studio 3: New version takes advantage of Automator, Core Audio and Audio Units

• FrontRow: Apple gets that much closer to a media center Mac (As an aside, is this "freeware?" I mean, technically the software is free, but you've got to purchase an iMac to get it. Just a minor categorization question)
