So Many Updates….So Little Time

Wow, Apple really went all out yesterday. I don’t have time to go through everything yet, because apart from the stuff he announced at the mini keynote there were a bunch of other announcements too. Im just scribbling this down before I head to work, so I’ll add links and more details later. Anyway, in no particular order here is what came out yesterday….

  • New iMacs
  • Revised Mac Mini
  • iLife 08
  • iWork 08
  • There’s an iWork 08 30 day trial available. (link)
  • Two new keyboards, One wired and one Wireless – The Wireless one lacks a numeric keypad. (I don’t know either)
  • Airport Extreme Base Station was revised to include Gigabit Ethernet
  • .Mac upgraded with more storage (10gb) new web galleries, server side spam filtering in mail
  • Aperture, Front Row receive updates (in software update now)

Other Quick Notes

  • Pages now reads Word 2007 documents, which the current version of Word for OSX can not. (ouch)
  • Numbers looks like a good solid spreadsheet
  • iMovie 08 has been completely redesigned from the ground up – and looks awseome
  • iMovie 08 also includes a direct “upload to you tube” link. Cool
  • The new Keyboard finally includes USB 2.0 ports
