iLife'06 CONFIRMED!

If this actually build web pages (like a dumbed down dreamweaver), then wouldn't it be better part of iWork? Or just part of Pages? Pages does HTML export, which, incidently, doesn't work, but I guess that's besides the point.

In any case, I hope it does CSS and is W3C compliant, and actually does WSYSIWYG (and proper HTML export ;-)

They should just call it iWant.

iWeb could be anything from a webpage designer to some cool online sharing utility. Hmmm could Apple be rolling out a P2P app?!?! Naa.

lol. The new name for everything Apple
;)
 
I smell a rat here and/or it's not what people are thinking. The web pages mentioned "with iTunes 4.9 bringing podcasting..." Ummm... 4.9? That was a year and a half ago?

This page may actually be just one giant screw up and not anything at all to get worked up about... certainly not a confirmation of anything.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if iWeb has something to do with blogging or website creation and integrated with iPhoto and iMovie and Garageband, like a hub for all media files for website creation, lets hope they give us 5-10gb idisk allowance! that would be sooo cool!!!
 
A google search of "iWeb" brought up several articles about a web authoring software. Most of these articles are from several years ago, but they all said basically the same thing.

Now that's a cool thought.

They did just increase .Mac bandwidth to 1 tb/month...

I smell what cwedl said. That'd be awesome if it went down.

I did a google search of Apples website, I came up with this...

Finally, some thoughts on the future:
The next big thing for the average computer user could well be putting all his "stuff" on the web, so he can share it with friends & family-- music, pictures, video, thoughts, family trees, etc. Let's call this iWeb. Apple has a good start with this with its .Mac offering. But many users will want to go beyond the canned capabilities of .Mac -- maybe even run a small home business on the web.
What is needed is a set of programs that do the basic iWeb functions. These must be written in a language that is easy to read/learn/understand/modify by non-programmers.

EXCELLENT FIND! Small business! Shopping Carts? Integration with Google Wallet/Paypal! This would be amazing!

Well, I want to propose a theory.
iLife comes standard on most Macs I believe (not sure about the PowerMac). If Apple wants to make web publishing accessable to the common man, then including it in iLife would make sense. iLife has made home movie editing nad now music editing/creation accessable to common users.
iWork is more of an upgrade over AppleWorks. Pages is more like Publisher while Keynote is more like PowerPoint. This is somethign that you would need f you were working for a buisness but isnt needed by most people. iWeb, however, is something EVERYONE could use. Hell, I've benn looking for a good cheap webpage creator since i switched to Mac. if Apple comes out with iWeb, I'll by it and stop using FrontPage at work to update my personal webpage.
 
no rat here

Well, on the official Apple website it says just that iTunes 4.9..this is no fake..

It could be a .mac homepage-maker.. the online version can be slow and unpractical to use...It could also be just a internet iSync app. that does different tasks automatically..
 
I think the title pretty obviously suggests that it'll be a basic website design program, probably with easy integration with the other iApps, Podcasts etc....

Do we really need yet another way for people blog? As if there isn't enough blogging going on already :rolleyes:
 
It's obviously going to be the any-idiots web designer, and will replace HomePage, meaning it will also be .mac only.

This doesn't excite me at all, I was only ever in the market for entry-level web designing for a few weeks, as if you actually need to create a site for anything, you advance pretty quickly.

I have an odd feeling that iWeb is a "Front Page" type application. Nothing complicated, just simple web creation. With that being said, it wouldnt suprise me if it ONLY worked with .Mac, but I thnk that would be stupid.

A frontpage clone that only works with .Mac and PodCast support in Garageband... wow, I can't wait to pay 70 bucks for such great features... :eek:
 
Ahh its true its like in signs when you see the Aliens Foot for the first time.

Actually it's not but it's still cool someone noticed now I just twidle my thumbs and wonder if this is going to be the second time(after iLife '05) I am going to be coerced into paying for software(my school use to give me all Apple Software for free).
 
Holy crap! I'm so glad you just did that 8 ball! I jus shot milk through my nose!

I would bet money that iWeb involves management of an online repository for media files, which could be used in conjunction with increased iDisk .mac space (a value add for .mac)

Why would it be a homepage creation tool? This would remove a "big" feature of .mac (a value subtraction for .mac).

Between .mac Homepage, rapidweaver, and freeway, there is really no need for Apple to get into the homepage creation business.
