Will Faces work on the iPad without iLife 09?

[goobot]

Are people really going to buy a Mac just so they can tag faces on their iPad?

no but it adds up after a while. i mean look at the people who are saying it now.

I hope something comes out on windows to enable this feature. I just sold my macbook and am currently only using windows.

I would love to use the places feature though.

geotagging of photos has to work with some progran in windows, right? Or was that something strictly developed for the mac?

I went ahead and picked up a copy of iLife 09 this weekend. I have almost all of my 3,000 photos tagged and ready to sync.

Faces doesn't work without iPhoto, but places does, which is cool. You can geotag old pics and scans without metadata in Picassa and they'll show up in map view on the iPad. Photos with geotaxis will work on their own.

My head just exploded. It's weird trying to understand what you guys are talking about since I've never owned a Mac.

Probabably. I don't have a Mac so I get my i-isms mixed up sometimes.

That's not entirely true...

I have an ipad and i don't have ilife 09. I have the iPhoto that came with my computer from 3 years ago. Places worked on my ipad up until yesterday. I was like whoa what is this feature. It was putting push pin like icons on a map on my ipad denoting the places i visited from the pictures i took in japan and S. Korea. Then yesterday when I went to show a friend this feature I could not replicate it. Im still wondering what happen? How can i have it and now not have it.

Speaking of iLife, should we expect iLife 10 to be announced/released during Steve's WWDC keynote?

Faces on iPad without a Mac or iLife

Just a bump in case anyone's come up with clever solutions:

I just bought an ipad for my parents. I'm a PC user. I have all my photos named, date-stamped, geo-tagged, and face recognized through picassa. Is there anyway to sync those photos to the iPad and retain dates, faces, and geo-tags? It sounds like the geo-tags and dates will work, but that the faces will not.

Is there any way to use a friend's Mac and iPhoto to create the faces and save it to a PC so I can upload the newly added Mac/iPhoto/faces metadata onto the iPad? I would just use his computer for everything, but then if I ever need to re-sync I would need to erase and sync from ours.

Outside of jailbreaking or anything extreme, has anyone heard of or succeeded in using Faces outside of a Apple centric world?

Thanks in advance!
