IPhoto '09 offers several nifty new organizational tools.
Schiller gave lengthy demos of new software features that should appeal to many Mac users, though perhaps not enough to inspire them to pay for an upgrade. As a new player competing against free services Apple needs to find a better way to monetize it, like my MobileMe suggestion. Schiller didn't say how much would cost, or whether it would be a monthly or annual fee, but charging for it is bad strategy. Google might have something to worry about if Apple 1) didn't plan to charge separately for the service and 2) if Apple did what I've suggested and create platform-independent online versions of its iWork apps that people could access via its MobileMe service. Apple doesn't make an iWork version for Windows.Īll that means Apple will have to do better if it wants people to give up using Microsoft Office for creating and sharing of word processor, presentation and spreadsheet documents.
However, users will only be able to edit the documents if they download it to their computer and, presumably, have a copy of iWork on their Mac. People using the iWork apps will be able to share documents over the Internet via. The noteworthy twist here is the beta launch of a Google Docs-like service called. The bulk of Schiller's talk covered the new features in fresh versions of the iLife suite (iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand) and iWork suite (Keynote, Pages and Numbers).
In all probability, a typical user would only need to exchange the battery once over the machine's life.Īnd it can be yours for (ahem) a reasonable $2,799. The down side is that the cell is not user-removable, but Apple has a program for exchanging the battery.
