More Apple Packages?

[coolsoldier]

adzoox has a good pont in that Apple is really just charging to distribute these apps. After all, all of the iLife apps are still free (except iDVD, which was never free, just bundled with the system, as it remains).

For people with slow connections (myself included) it's worth something to get software on CD.

The next bundled software will more than likely be an office suite. Keynote made its debut. Now comes the updated/vervised version of AppleWorks, more than likely bundled under a different name.

Spot on

We now have iLife - for your digital life -
Next could be iOrg - to organise your life- Safari, mail, iChat, iCal, iSync & .mac
Then iOffice - for your work life - Keynote, Appleworks, etc.

They all include something that would be charged for anyway but they also all work together AND can be marketed together.

Any cool ideas for the ads?😎

i also agree with adzook. I would have no problem with apple charging for a package of Safari, Mail, iChat, and some new thing IF Safari, Mail, and iChat were still all available for download. I am lucky enough to have broadband, but i still remeber the utter hell of trying to download large files with dial-up. If i still had dial-up, i would rather pay 50 bucks for safari mail and ichat on a CD than take 10 hours to download them.

Just my thoughts 🙂

To quote Jason Fox from the Fox Trot comic..." iThink iWill bSick" Apple needs to drop the "i"thing. It's old. Move on!

In case anyone thinks that they will keep this i thing going for too much longer look at the "mac" naming scheme of the 80's. It got old and they dropped it too. No more i's. Please!😛 😀
