Apple Announces iLife '09

I think new Macs bought today have iLife 08 but you can get iLife 09 for $9.95 S&H later.
Nice update to the suite. So, no major iWeb or iDVD updates, but this isn't unexpected. I don't think I'll be buying the new iLife just for the iPhoto updates though, so I'll either have to wait until I buy a new Mac (which by that time iLife '10 will no doubt be out!) or unless Apple offers a subsequent box set, with the new iWork, iLife and Snow Leopard for $169 in a few months. 
I remember when iPhoto was a free download on the Apple website and the whole package came on the Panther install CDs.
I think Apple should get back to offering iPhoto either cheaper or free. I imagine many more people take photos than do any of the other stuff with the suite. I took all the other apps off my HDD to save space when I got a MacBook with the '06 suite on.
If you don't play and instrument and don't own a video camera (not uncommon) then that renders 3/5 apps next to useless.

That worked
Thanks, Greg. That link worked.
I wonder why I kept seeing another price? Strange.
Of course, it was probably a problem with the chair to keyboard interface.

I wonder how good the face recognition works? Sounds utterly brilliant but 2 of my best (and therefore most photographed ) friends are twins, and my girlfriends a triplet!
This should be fun.
An grr, bought my MB just under a month ago. Should have waited and got iLife for cheap

Nope. I've read on many buying it on e-bay and saving some money. Just make sure it is a reputable seller. That is what I am going to do for my MBP.
Maybe it's the conspiracy theorist in me, but what would this beloved company of ours going to do with our faces and the cloud?
I'm sure it all ties into some Skynet-related initiative Apple is undertaking.
SkyNet is a Mac?? Hmmmm I would have thought it ran on VISTA.
Max.
I think it's unclear why you assume that the software you were using happily(?) yesterday is suddenly obsolete ("old; no longer in use or valid or fashionable" according to Visual Thesaurus) and you are no longer happy with it.
This is the car manufacturers brainwashing - if you don't have the current model year you are missing out of something important, but the reality is that what worked yesterday still works today.
No no, it's an efficient system...
Yes, but VISTA is evil!!! Maybe SkyNet is a Hackintosh??!!

Ah, gotcha, I see what you meant - fair point.
Anywho, can't see myself buying iLife 09 anytime soon, since all I'd really need it for is iPhoto, and I'm quite happy with iPhoto '08s feature set and performance. If there is an updated "box set" with Snow Leopard, Ilife and iWork then maybe I'd consider it, but I think the likelihood of that offering coming to be is low the more I think about it...
I agree.... I just spent 2k on a MBP two weeks ago.... there is no way that I'm paying to upgrade to iLife '09. I'll wait until Snow Leopard.... when its included.
