Thanks for the link- I had no idea something like that already existed! Think an Apple app creator that came free with every Mac and didn't charge a subscription would still be a winner though... That's my iLife wish anyway!
Got a tip for us?

I think its this. What better way to support there new format then to force consumers to use it.
Come on Apple, lets finally see a split of the Store from iTunes.
iTunes now sells
Music
Video
Books
Apps
Games
It's Not i"Tunes" anymore.
They need an iStore in which all those things can be bought.
Get it out of iTunes and stop using iTunes as the connection
for their devices.

Bye Bye Tiger, you were a good friend
Since Safari 5 doesn't run on Tiger and iPhone 4 won't sync with it, I bet iLife 11 will be the third nail in Tiger's coffin.
As for the mystery app:
an image editor...since Preview and iPhoto has limited editing functionality, couldn't either of these be expanded a bit for editing. Still a stand alone app would be good. Although since I have CS5, I wouldn't likely use it.
iDevice app creator...would Apple even entertain such an idea?
iDVD could now be iBurn.
A resurected HyperCard please. Yeah when Hades freezes, and such an app might belong in the iWork suite anyway.

Apple did have a patent for Script-Integrated Storyboards: http://www.informationweek.com/news/hardware/mac/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=212903568&subSection=Macintosh+Platform
Why? Can't you run 64-bit stuff in Leopard? iStat Menus, for one, is 64-bit and running on my 10.5 machine.
Maybe iDVD is integrated into the apps (as part of iMovie)?
Maybe the mystery app is iMovie HD '06 (not that trash you call iMovie '08+) but probably not. Hmmmm....... Maybe some kind of animation software? Let's brainstorm: iAnimate, iGame, iConnect (social networking integrator), iBuild 3D.
The store doesn't deserve the "i" prefix. "i" means personal, and the store kinda controlls ME (with its changing licenses). Not to mention, it's not "my" store.
Maybe the new cloud based AppleTV released at the same time? Massive push to go mainstream with movie/tv sales. It's going to happen sometime this year.
Of course you can, but as this is Apple I suspect that a rewrite to 64-bit will also leverage some SL-only technologies in some way. More likely parts of the suite will run on Leopard, but for the full effect SL will be required.
Since iDVD isn't currently 64bit, they will probably just write some fresh code for iMovie '11 and make it more like the current Magic DVD option. Just a sidebar that pops out or a pop-up window with some basic options. Gone is the hierarchy map, submenu option and abundance of themes. Think of it like going from iPod Classic to iPod Shuffle. The Shuffle still provides the core functionality users expect, but leaves out features that the power user expects, like a screen and menus. The DVD export option will remain just to keep legacy users from complaining too much. Apple doesn't want to make iMovie bloated, so they will include the DVD option, just a stripped down version.
Maybe this means that the iMac upgrades will be very minimal in terms of hardware specs (maybe 10% speed difference at most, slightly better graphics, and that's about it).
My logic on that is that by combining software upgrades with some hardware upgrades the can create the "this is a great upgrade" mentality among consumers ("Look so much has changed, you got new iLife, more speed, etc.).

Kinda hope they would actually update iDVD so you could add themes...imo one of the biggest downfalls from iDVD is the lack of themes.
Perhaps Apple bought Freehand and GoLive from Adobe, giving us a vector drawing app and iWeb Pro.
The mystery app is probably going to be something to read ebooks on, just like on the iPad and iPhone.
BluRay isn't coming if you'd ask me
I would LOVE to have a good "Paint" app, it's simple, it's basic but nog present on a mac
And please Apple get the PRICE DOWN, the apps are much cheaper for iOS than they are for OS X

I wonder if the mystery application is an app to make iTunes Extra bundles of Movie/Music content. This would give users the ability to include DVD extras with the film in a slick bundled placeholder. It would do the things iDVD does but make it available on Apple TV/iTunes rather than a DVD player.
Good call. The more recognition that macrumors readers come from all over the world the more we all learn together.
That would be pretty nice! Its always irked me that you have to buy the whole studio bundle to get Motion. You can do so much in it on it's own, i don't want the rest of the suite at all.
Yes. I have no idea what network it uses (.me email??), whether it talks to other networks and what it even looks like. No one uses it as far as I know.
