Macworld San Francisco Keynote Coverage, iWork '09 Coming

[dansmith3003]

A slip up on Apples 'downloads' page shows iWork 09 in the top downloads list. However clicking on the link takes you to iWork 08. I'm guessing Apple are 'preparing' the site for the updates that are possibly coming today.

Not a big rumor but a rumor that is 100% possible given the release schedule of iWork.

[Schtumple]

That's a good find there. But it's kind of always been a big possibility that apple is going to release iWork/iLife 09, atleast this proves it.

[bertpalmer]

Well spotted!

[sushi]

Well done, but not surprised.

I think most are expecting iLife/iWork 09 to be released.

[MacRumors]

The keynote line has started for attendees and media. The keynote will kick off at 9 a.m. Pacific today. Live coverage will be provided here at MacRumors. All traffic will be directed to MacRumorsLive.com when the time approaches. MacRumorsLive also supports iPhone and iPod Touch browsers.





Meanwhile, Apple's downloads page reveals that iWork '09 will indeed be announced. iWork has been renamed to "iWork '09" in the top downloads list. The current shipping version of iWork is '08.

Nehalem iMacs go go!

[VaatiKaiba]

Can we presume that iLife '09 will be added too? Seems strange not to update both so that their names are consistent...

Come on iMacs and Mac minis! Enjoy it Arn!

[SydneyDev]

Please be iWork '08 plus a new app, and not all this web based stuff we've been hearing about.

[LillieDesigns]

I hate iLife updates because they become a necessity for miniscule things like when I need 08 to make ringtones in garageband.

I know there's almost no chance of a Mac Pro announcement but... please please please

[shamash]

Apple always seem to have SOME slip up on their page. There was also, as someone noticed, a picture of the Pros that used to be side-by-side late08/early08 and now it's only late08 :P

[talkingfuture]

The excitements building. I just looked at downloads on the UK downloads page and it still says iWork '08. They must have better disciplined staff at Apple UK

[fanbrain]

iLife '09 hasn't been released and it's already the #5 top download? I didn't think you could download iLife in the first place.

[fleshman03]

So if you can download iWork 09, wouldn't you think that it will at least have a stand-alone desktop component?

That'd be iWork

[Animalk]

IWork '09 is most likely IWork '08 with minor tweaks + web interface much like google docs but within the "me" environment. What I am saying is that we are looking at multiple account types for "me.com".

That's my guess.

A cheap desktop, but not as cheap as a mac mini A pc with efi-x works fine, and extremely fast, but using efi-x is like cheating on my wife

Not happening. No. Not not, now for a year. no.

Point made?

[KALLT]

Damn it. I just bought iWork only recently. Too bad Apple does not offer any upgrade versions. But who knows, perhaps iWork 09 isn't even worth it.

[happydude]

so with previous releases iwork/life they have let customers who bought within the previous 30/60 days pick up the new copy for free or reduced price. will this count this time around as well? i bought a macbook on cyber monday, will i get a free upgrade?!

[djellison]

Keynote is the one app that makes my Mac irreplaceable with a PC. Everything else I'd be happy doing on a PC. Keynote is the one thing that ties me to OSX.

PLEASE DON'T RUIN IT.

iWork not iLife. And it has not been released yet, just a link on the summary webpage has been renamed. And yes, you could and can download iWork, actually a 30-day free trial (for which you then can buy a serial number).
