    It sounds like native translators for any darn document that is out there; can u imagine reading the entire PDF document without launching the heavy-weight Adobe? Nice...
    So what is the hidden tech behind this secret?

    Edit: Subject should spell Quick Look rather than QuickView...getting there, slowly.

    Yeah, it looks really cool, and its not just PDFs...Powerpoint presentations, Word documents, videos, etc. Very cool.

    As for the PDF thing, well, Preview displays PDFs fine too and its not too heavy of an application :p.
