I'm with you. Unless you include burn to DVD functionality in iMovie, and allow some of the more obvious configuration (DVD menus etc) from inside iMovie. I never go very deep in iDVD, just enough to get it playable.
I always thought that Apple might be missing an opportunity with BD disks. I get their fear and loathing, but I would love the opportunity to make my own BD disks with on-line/interactive feature content, etc. They could tie the online stuff in to MobileMe, so you had a place to host your online content.
They wouldn't do it, of course, but it could be a lot of fun.
No idea if it's possible or likely but I really hope that apple have bought Pixelmator and that is the new app.
iLife could really do with an image editor, and Pixelmator is such a great 'apple like' program.

Mystery App
I wonder if it's an image editor. That's the only thing truly essential that's missing from iLife.
Perhaps iPaint (a la MacPaint)?
Would be perfect app for a Magic Trackpad.
EDIT: mrboult! You beat me to it.

I think you really need a way to take your photos and movies and get them onto devices. If iDVD is removed I think a consumer friendly version of compressor would be very nice. Is iTunes still "theoretically" lumped into iLife? 64 bit iTunes would be very nice.
It can't be that, Apple would never copy the competition : http://androidos.in/2010/07/android-app-inventor-google/
Leopard lacks things like Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL though. Also, they could be aiming this for a Intel only release.
I thought leopard was intel only as well also it is as 64bit as snow leopard is for most of us still
I hope that apple switch the startup kernels over in an upcoming os upgrade, it would force devs to start developing for 100% 64bit systems.
What's apple's usual 'recent purchaser' policy for upgrades like this? I bought a new macbook pro, delivered just over a week ago, came of course with iLife '09. Do apple usually let people who purchased in the last 30 days or something upgrade or do I lose?
We'd know by now if they did. So if it is an image editor, it's something in-house or from a past acquisition.
Definately one of the best guesses so far though. Or iBlu-ray

Leopard has a PPC version. It is in fact the latest and last release that will run on PPC.
If my memory serves correctly they normally limit recent purchaser upgrades to those who have bought machines since the official announcement, so that buyers don't hold off on purchasing machines already in the supply channel. This can change sometimes though. For instance, I got a £10 upgrade to Leopard with my iMac even though I got the Mac before Leopard was released.
This is good news.
The App = redesigned iDVD with new name that has iTunes Plus & iTunes Extra creation as well as DVD authoring.
New iWeb = thank god!
Should be the same day the iMac is released, which will not be August 7th because that is a Saturday.

That might be a good bet. It would be great if you could do facetime computer to iphone. Definitely open up the usage.
I would think that the release of iLife '11 would be coinciding with the release of the new desktops.
not sute...
with iDVD going away, and this mystery App, I would love it if the new app was iBlu-ray as I think Apple needs to get with the times, but seeing as Apple hasn't added Blu-ray to any of they of their computers, probably because iTune HD is 'good enough' a slogan I heard too much from the HD-DVD supporters about their format, I'm actually scared it'll be an itunes version of iDVD so as to tie your home made movies to Apple's Itunes and AppleTV rather than moving forward with Blu-ray. but we shall see how this goes.
