I admit that I've never used Quicken or similar, but I like Excel for finances. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be, and it was a life saver once I put it to that use, and while I have iWork, I've never touched Numbers.
Then wait.
You'll have plenty of time learning the "ins and outs" of your new computer. It's just a computer, not rocket science.
I think what you are saying is you want your toy, and you want it now.
s.
That does not make sense. iLife is about creating and managing stuff. Facetime support should come to iChat.
Finally!
I think it's great to see a refresh in the iLife suite. Hopefully it steps up the game more than we expect!

I agree with those who have said that idvd will likely become a feature incorporated into imovie.
Its possible the new application is a merging of "share" features including idvd and media browser.

iDVD may not deserve its high-profile status anymoreDVD may no longer be how most people show homemade videos to each otherbut its still a useful utility. Make it a download, like they did with the older iMovie, or throw it in the Utilities folder of OS X. I do find it useful once in a blue moon.
I can see not continuing to update and improve it, but as long as it still runs, keep it available. (When it simply no longer runs, third parties will have to take over.)
Or, just make it a little sub-feature of iMovie and/or iPhoto.

I don't even use those other apps. I'm only interested in iMovie.
I would use iPhoto, if they would fix how it manages files.

I don't have time to read all the posts so I don't know if this has been revealed yet or not but I just stopped in to let you all know that the new "mystery app" is the new so called Apple TV software being made available through iLife for all Macs. Enjoy. 
This is true, but Snow Leopard has Grand Central Dispatch, while Leopard does not. The purpose of Grand Central Dispatch is to optimize application support for systems with multi-core processors and other symmetric multiprocessing systems. Knowing this, to me, it makes sense to update the iLife applications to use GCD, not because they "need" it to run, but to help the system run more efficiently.
Remember iMovie '08?
I think FaceTime would be included in iChat, not iLife.
Nobody else was bothered by the fact that iMovie was not on the list? Since rumors say there are big surprises coming in iMovie, I think the mystery app is iVideo: features of iMovie HD, '08 and iDVD combined.
iPaint would be great though!
I'd like to see the source for that. It would be a bit of a let down for me.
My guess for the mystery app is Apple combining a 1-year MobileMe subscription into the iLife suite.
PHENOMENON! Finally...
Maybe they'll rename it iComp.
Seriously tho, I have longsince thought they would make a Photoshop-style app for the iLife suite. Whatever it is, it would be a lot more welcome if it was an apple take on an existing app, rather than a desktop client for mobile apps a la Facetime, iPhone/iPad emulator or an iDevelop.
Surely, every now and then, apple has to throw us these bones to delude us that they still care about their brand as a computer company. Even if the pro apps are on the wane, a decent consumer-level photo editor or something would be pretty nifty and might recapture the cult status of Mac Paint.

Isn't that called Front Row - which is really an ancient version of what was deployed on AppleTVs, ported from OSX.
I am guessing iAdobe...no, jk...but is Adobe really even needed on a Mac? I'd really like to know as I use Windows at work and Mac at home.
Maybe it's a clever sales strategy, so that everyone goes out and buys Grandma an iPad.
You are free to use your existing iDVD application or to seek out third-party solutions like Roxio Toast Titanium.
