iApp Updates Coming: iMovie, iTunes, iPhoto and New App?

How about a different naming convention. iThis, iThat..sheesh. I mean really, what type of genuis came of with this sh*t.

iMac, iPhoto,iTunes,iDVD,iPod,...

I can see the marketing team giving themselves a big pat on the back after those flashes of genius.
 
iWorks - no brainer, and the single biggest lack.

iDVD update - c'mon, how about supporting progressive scan? The current one really doesn't look very good, apologetists aside, when compared to the competition.

iPhoto - simply handling bigger albums would be good, although the idea of including RAW support would truly rock. Especially if/when I pick up that 300D for Christmas.

Just that would be fine by me.

The Exandable sub folders and Rendezvous photo sharing support are the two things I've been waiting for in iPhoto. Oh, and some kind of speed improvement. Maybe a view with a fixed thumbnail size. Sure you couldn't zoom in and out, but that just really slows it down compared to similar applications.
 
Lots of Appleworks talk

Remember folks...Appleworks comes on just about every machine Apple is selling to schools. It is the program of choice for most teachers and it's FREE. The last major update brought the Presentation module which is horrible.

Listen up Apple. How about slimming down Keynote to some version that is useable in Appleworks. If you did that it would be in my lesson plans the next day.
 
users on iPod

That is the other thing I would love, the ability to have say 3 users use one iPod, maybe the same three computers that are allowed to play itunes music store songs. But then my wife and I could share one iPod.

Lots of logistical things to work out, but could be doable. Then again, I'm sure Apple would rather just send me two iPods. :)

You can do this, but if you need access to all of your pictures, no matter how old, at any time (like when you're doing videos and need certain clipart or photos), you don't want to have to put in each CD and open up the libraries until you find the right one (I tried this, but it just didn't work...

Apple needs to let us manage our pictures how we want, and do it faster! :)

Try using a program called CDFinder. It allows you to catalog your CDs and they are still searchable. You can also make contact sheets of your CDs to make it easier to find exactly the picture you want.

According to notes, we should see another iTunes 4 update with improvements related to Purchased Music, iPods and Music Store Availability.

...with Apple finally adding support for Photo Albums and Photo Print services to "some" countries outside the United States.

This intrigues me. No-one else has yet commented but this sounds like iTMS may be here sooner than expected?

Please iTMS Europe!!!!! Please!!!:D :cool: :)

Hopefully the UK is part of the iPhoto improvements too!
 
Re: mmmm.

I hope that the new app will be a web publishing tool that can create basic web pages using images from iPhoto, sounds from iTunes etc.

That would be amazing. I can think of it now.
 
How about a version of iDVD that works with external/non-superdrive DVD-R's!!!
It has always bothered me that I can use all the iApps but that one without buying a new computer.

Appleworks == need of serious repair... they better be working on it... really.

Apple just needs to bring the 'all in one' into the Word Processor... like yesterday.

I have to think this is the correct guess. Word compatibility and PDF output are already there, all they need is some decent layout capabilities. Could they take parts from Open Office - not the whole bloated mess, just parts.

Or would they fix up what they have already, maybe add in a junior version of filemaker (iChart :^). They get inject some steroids into Mail and iCal.

Most of it is already there.

Think about it. How many people buy Office X mostly for Word thinking the other stuff _might_ come in handy?
 
Is a newsreader too fringe?

Maybe a newsreader that handles those RS??? feeds and Avantgo clipping to the iPod...

That would be cool. And there would be at least 5 people that would buy it ;^)
 
The new iApp is is going to be a DVD archive / tv recorder tool that can also play back over 802.11e to a new box that sits under your TV. Also you will be able to record onto your mac via the new box, oh and an updated new 802.11e Airport.

I agree...

Hopefully those of us living outside the USA will be able to get iPhoto albums!!

Apple's biggest market maybe the USA, but they HAVE to realise we exist too!!
 
Not so sure

You know they're gonna do it.

What's the business case for iChat AV for Windows? Sell more iSights? Apple ported iTunes to Windows to sell more $300 iPods, not more .99 songs. Plus, iChat would be hard sell to Windows users, since it's pretty ordinary in terms of functionality among IM apps, especially on the Windows side, where many more options exist.

Edit: Oops, wrong iApp!
 
But Don't Forget...

It should have BlueTooth!
 
other iPhoto improvements

An absolutely essential improvement to iPhoto would be adding support for those short .mpgs which most cameras produce nowadays. Annoying to have to remember to import them by hand after an iPhoto import before deleting the card.

Also maybe some kind of bluetooth/isync mms function in iPhoto. To send iphotos automatically to my T610 for mms use would be great!

iChat AV has to come out for Windows or some Windows program have to accept iChat. Unlike most apps, the idea about chatting to have as many on board as possible, it would suck if I only can do video chats with Mac users.

Didn't Steve say something about this being integrated into the actual computer? Accompanied with visually oriented iApp for darkness control?

I think it all starting in the dot com boom when "i" and "e" everything was popular. Now it is showing it's age and I hope they move away from it. Thank god I am not using iSafari and iKeynote.
 
I don't think it's a bad idea to use those names, they still have some years in them.
The iApps are for the regular comsumers and probably a very good selling point for all the PC zombies looking to switch to Macs. The names work.

At least Apple don't use cyber in any of their names. :D
