AOL is back on the Mac with a brand new release that's been built specifically with Mac users in mind. The AOL Mac team is pleased to announce a special "sneak peek" of the new AOL Desktop for Mac. This preview release is available for all Tiger and Leopard users (10.4.8 or higher).

AOL Desktop for Mac will coexist with AOL for Mac OS X, so there is no need to uninstall the old software in order to check it out, and it won't overwrite your personal file cabinets or stored data. We're sure you'll be excited about the improvements we've made including these highlights:

  • Increased Speed: Installs in seconds and launches quickly- so you can begin browsing immediately, without signing in.
  • New Browser: An all new browser allows you to surf all your favorite sites faster than ever before.
  • Tabbed Organization: Tabs on browser windows and instant messages offer easy access and an uncluttered, organized view of all windows.
  • Integrated AIM: AIM is built right in so you can see which Buddies are online, chat and more.
  • Customization: A highly customizable toolbar makes it easy to keep your favorites at your fingertips as well as access them on any Internet-connected computer.

During the Sneak Peek, we will continue to gather feedback from our users and continue working on the final release.
