Tiger Or iLife 05 In January?

I would prefer Tiger to ship before iLife 05 so there can be some stuff in those apps to work better with Tiger

Not to say that I want iLife 05 not to work on 10.2 and 10.3 but if you ship tiger first the "hard core" people will buy it and then when iLife 05 comes out and will have improved functionality if installed on Tiger then more folks might buy tiger along with iLife 05.

The promo was originially scheduled to end September 25, 2004, but the extension suggests that either a new version of the iLife suite, or the full public release of Tiger could be expected at the show.

I just can't wait!!!
 
New iApp?

A new iApp I'd really like to see in iLife '05? An advanced (and supereasy) tool to build websites. Homepage is too basic and it's linked to iDisk.

"iPages"?
"SafariWeaver"?
"HomePageDeluxe"?
"GarageSite"?
"WebMACster"?

This would be a logical step in Apple's philosophy:
ENJOY IT --> DO IT YOURSELF --> SHARE WITH FRIENDS

iTUNES --> GARAGEBAND --> CD-R
DVD PLAYER --> iMOVIE --> iDVD
PICTURE VIEWER --> iPHOTO --> ORDER PRINTS
SAFARI --> NEW iAPP --> INTERNET

...And then Steve Jobs says: "They all work together seamlessly!" :D
 
I think a tax program would be great but listening to music making movies and music, share and edit/organize your photos and then when your done from your vacation videos and pictures and making a cool music for it you can then do your taxs and relized u over spent on your budget....

I hope that apple won't "sell out" to windows.... For those people who don't have half a brain and buy mac should not be able to use ilife...

iLife 05 seems much more likely than Tiger in January. Maybe it'll include a new iApp? iFinance, maybe? Obviously this is completely unfounded speculation, but some kind of home finance app seems like the logical next step.

iFinance already exists, so don't hold your breath for it. Anyway, i don' t think a finance app would fit into the iLife suite. It might become an add-on of the new Apple Works, though. As for Tiger, I don't think we'll see before March. Apple should take their time, I'd rather wait a few weeks or months later than getting a Tiger release in January that is full of bugs.

You bring up a good point, .mac is so antiquated! Hopefully the release of Tiger will bring an overhaul to .mac with it.

I tried the free trial of .mac and was not all that impressed. I ended up just using it to post pictures for a few craigslist sales and then let it die.
 
iLife after Tiger, please.

I'm really hoping that iLife '05 comes after Tiger. I wanna see coreVideo and coreImage included in iPhoto and iMovie.

Just my $0.02.
 
Don't Forget Keynote V2.0

This is way, way, way overdue - I blow away people at presentations but I'm getting bored with it by now - new Themes, Transitions, etc. Maybe even bundle it in iLife...
 
well, if there is a financial app attached, I think the market is ripe for an iOwe.

there's even a song to go along with it, for the marketing campaign. :D
iOwe, iOwe, it's off to work I go...*whistling*

.Mac users got a free version of iBlog which is pretty nice.

:thumpsup: I would love that too but I think Apple would have to do something for at least 10.3 users. However doesn't Motion use a contained-type of CoreVideo?
 
An iLife upgrade should be in the works, but there is no reason to port it to Windows - all that does is take away a reason to buy a Mac. The revenues simply would not be worth it. Another reason would be the need to support iLife on Windows. Now THAT would be expensive.

I wouldn't be surprised to see another addition to iLife, and it will be kept under raps until released, just like GarageBand was. This is where Steve has a little fun.

Updating .mac is a good idea, simply because there are too many other sites offering a gig of space for free. I do think it needs to remain simple, however, because of all the new users that go there.

There is no need to rush Tiger as MS keeps pulling features from Longhorn and the ship date keeps slipping, even with a stripped down version. Backward compatibility will also be a Longhorn killer.

Keynote might be upgraded soon as it has been a while since Apple did anything with it, but I see that down the list.

The potential for a real surprise is in the hardware area. Not much in the area of rumors, but a bump in both the PMs and iMacs might work, speed increases on the PB (no G5 yet) or a revision of the iBook.

Apple wants to keep the excitement high and I think they will make us very happy in January.
 
iLife '05 announced at MWSF, Tiger ships in Mid spring

also at MWSF I predict:
Keynote 2

as for everything else depends on what happens in Oct. and Nov. but I would label Powerbooks and XServes as potential players in the show.

speaking of Powerbooks, isn't it getting close to updates on those, iBooks, and eMacs? *see buyers guide*

let's see some rumors on those.

Of course Tiger is going to be released way before WWDC so by then Steve can talk about how well it's done, etc. This is obvious.

I agree. Tiger has to be out well ahead of WWDC. It was announced/previewed this year at WWDC and if its not out before WWDC05 then we'll have gone nowhere in a year, and the keynoe will sound just like this years!

Also, Apple have to be careful about exactly when they announce/release it. For example if it still wasn't out by next April and I was thinking of buying a new iMac, then I would wait until Tiger came out to buy the iMac. That would be bad for Apple. For me, getting a brand new OS with my new iMac is like saving the £££ off the price.

In fact I'm hoping to buy a Powerbook fairly soon, and if I have to buy Tiger after just 2-3 months then my new Powerbook will have cost ~£100 more than it should have done. If its more than 6 months then fine, but if its less than 6 months then I will feel bad about paying again so soon.

Now that is an idea !!! iLife for Windows , like iTunes is making PC users think Twice now about going Mac maybe iLife apps would push them that little bit more to buy a Mac.

if not, then the money Apple could make from PC users must be worth it .

Just a thought

God, I hope this doesn't happen. If people could use all of the cool Apple digital hub stuff on their PC, where is the incentive to ever switch? iTunes gives them a taste, and that's all they should get until they pony up.
 
It's totally obvious that we'll see iLife '05 released this January. We'll probably see some updates to other iApps as well and an update to Panther if it doesn't come before MWSF. On the hardware I'd say the iBook G4's, PowerBooks, eMacs, and Xserves are long due for updates. Hopefully those dreams of a dual-core G4 from FreeScale will come true for the PowerBooks. The iBook G4's and the eMacs will probably get the G4's that are found in the current PowerBooks and the Xserves hopefully will get the 2.5Ghz G5's. Not to shabby at all.
 
I want iLife '05 and Tiger! Maybe they'll both come as one package?

I certainly hope and won't think iLife will ever go to Windows. iTunes is different because of the iPod (music match was rubbish). But iLife is part of the philosophy of Mac and Mac OS X and having that on Windows will remove most of the incentive of getting a Mac.

Amen to that. Apple's got to get QC in their OS's and patches up to par. ... This off the cuff release then reel it back in after a bug is found or something has to stop. ... Apple has to be substantially better then MS and right now, IMHO, I'm not seeing that.
Click to expand...

i concur. MS is getting HAMMERED in the press lately and Apple has had mostly positive reviews on about everything they've done lately (iPod, iMac, iTMS, G5, etc). we need to ride this wave of "Apple, good. Microsoft, baaad." for a while. Longhorn may be a stunningly flawless OS (not holding my breath), but we won't know for a couple years. in the meantime, Apple can't throw out a new version of the OS, make us cough up another $129 and then start patching. that's the MS way of doing things.

i was speaking w/ another designer this weekend. she & i have both been Mac users for a while. we had always had the notion that our OS was better than PC users, but now we KNOW it. OSX was such a huge improvement over OS9, not to mention Wondows. sure, there's room for improvement, i'm dying to see what all they pull out of the hat in Tiger, but i can wait for them to make it rock solid before i do...

I love it. Maybe Apple can release their new finance package for Windows iAfford. That tracks your finances so those who don’t feel like getting screwed over by one of Apple’s lones (The interest is asinine.) or can’t pay for a Mac out of pocket can get one.

Sorry folks but it’s a pet peeve I have. People keep harping on PC users. You want them to switch? Get Apple to stop catering to high end computers only. People on the board compare Apple to Porsche , BMW, etc. Well then you are all but admitting you are paying a premium and if so STOP telling people to go out and buy a Mac because there are people out there who don’t want a craptastic eMac and don’t have the finances to spend $1,500 on a baseline iMac (That with 512MB ram and apple care which should have been included in the first place.)

If those things aren't in iLife 05, they will be in iLife 06. I wouldn't want to wait 6 months on iLife just for Tiger. I see Tiger being released inbetween iLife 05 an iLife 06.
