Keynote '08?

iToaster · Jul 30, 2007, 07:19 PM

Has anyone noticed on Apple's video tutorial for this week that it says Keynote '08? New iWork and iLife soon, or am I mistaken?

can you please provide a link?

mrkramer · Jul 30, 2007, 07:29 PM

a link would be helpful. I am guessing that it is just a typo though.

Already been fixed apparently.

iToaster · Jul 30, 2007, 07:40 PM

Ha ha, so I did catch them. At least we know what it'll be called... duh.

Perhaps this could be an accidental leak? I mean if it was a typo then they surely meant Keynote '06, however Apple never refers to the current version of Keynote as '06, it's simply Keynote 3. Do a search on Apple's website and you will see iWork '06 and Keynote 3, never a mix of the two.

They might release the '08 suites soon, then nothing until MWSF in '09, falling back on the regular schedule.

Possible and maybe a reason as to why they've been dragging their heels (iPhone is no longer allowed for excuses')

Good point...

I'm not sure if it means anything... but it is an odd typo, as mentioned above.

Anyone who believes any of these things are accidental are a lot more naive than I had ever believed. When things are leaked and then the actual product turns up it's obviously no accident.

On June 16 (give or take) Apple rolled out their new website. I was at WWDC and I remember one of the apple.com guys saying later in the week that Apple just had given their team an iPhone to test with the day before. The engineer was saying that Apple is super secretive and, oh yeah, Apple's site didn't fully work properly on the iPhone because nobody from the iPhone team told the apple.com team that most mouse events aren't implemented. All this with the iPhone being less than 2 weeks from launch.

My point being that if the apple.com guys know about it, then a launch must be very close indeed.

I love iWork, and I am OK with it being 08 with a late fall/January release as long as Apple is using the extra time to make this suite fast, low bugs, and a huge leap forward.

I'd love to move my whole company over (50+ seats), but iWork 06 is simply not complete and too buggy.

Yeah, I'm sure a 10 minute mistake on the apple.com/startpage/ was all carefully planned.

That made me laugh, for the wrong reasons obviously.

I'm in a harsh mood, so i'll also add that naiive has two 'i's.

I think it would be okay to announce an iWork 08, but if they are going to skip the odd year wouldn't it be better to lose the double digit anyway?

MA.

Anyone else here think Apple has hired someone to sit on this forum as well as Appleinsider/Thinksecret and monitor every information coming, so as to alert for any mishaps on the site and inform lawyers of threatening rumors?

Whoever you are i know you're here

belovedmonster · Jul 31, 2007, 06:51 AM

Remember how everyone complained that Apple had dropped the ball over Octocore Macs since they took so long to come out and people wondered what the delay could be, and then it turned out that the "delay" was Apple waiting for 3GHZ models to be available. i.e there was no delay, just Apple was waiting for the right time to ship the right product.

Well I think we are going to see a similar thing here... Apple could have brought out iLife anytime now, but they realised that they might as well wait a few months and call it 08, rather than put it out as soon as its ready and have it look out of date after 6 months. They figured they would give it a couple more months of polish and give it a forward looking name rather than put it out as soon as there was an option to.

happylittlemac · Jul 31, 2007, 07:32 AM

Well it could be a typo, I don't own iWork but iLife 06 is still more than up-to date and better than most other competitively priced products.
