osirisX Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) 17" Unibody MacBook Pro Should have came out when the other MacBooks were released. Leaving the optional Matte screen to the 17" only is not very fair. Non-removable battery is a kick in the teeth. It's the high-end Pro model, it should have a removable battery. iLife '09 iPhoto is a solid upgrade. Flickr exporting has to be the best feature IMO. iMovie '09 still isn't what people are looking for. The instrument lessons in GarageBand is a great idea. The new widgets in iWeb look nice. iDVD didnt get an upgrade, they should just bundle iDVD into iMovie. iWork '09 Nice updates to all the apps. Keynote Remote is a great idea. iwork.com should be useful. DRM-Free iTunes About time. Variable pricing is a tad annoying when it comes to new releases.

WolfieZero Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Isn't Snow Leopard all about what's under the hood? so feature-wise, it's all to do with programming and APIs rather than a shiny new look? So comparing that to Win7, isn't that all about the new looks and also what's under the hood. That means Snow Leopard and Win7 aren't worth comparing as they are two different strategies.

Ayepecks Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Most disappointing Macworld ever. Good thing they're going to end it if that's the type of stuff they're going to announce. You don't need a show to announce that kind of stuff -- it just wastes the journalists' time that are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Most disappointing Macworld ever. I agree. The 17-inch MacBook Pro update was overdue and the iLife and iWork updates were to be expected. Unbelievable the Mac mini is still being sold at a price where you would expect the latest hardware. For crying out loud it still features a Merom chip and a chipset that predates Santa Rosa. Not to mention the other parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the evn show Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Update on my iTunes library upgrade: It went exactly as planned. If you ignore the charge on the credit card you'd never notice I had DRM versions of those albums/songs. It preserved things like changes to the album title (removing "Deluxe Edition" from Weezer's red album), ratings, play counts, etc. changes to album covers. This is the smoothest feature roll-out I've seen for iTunes to date. I wonder how much of that is learning from the failed MobileMe bit, and how much is just people seeing a huge bill for music they already own and deciding that DRM-free just isn't worth it.

sambrentnall Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think something has gone wrong an apples part. This is prob because the page was found before it should of been seen hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emzino Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 No iPhone news? With a ?320+ price tag (PAYG UK), you'd think they'd try to draw new customers in with a bit more of an incentive especially with the opportunity they HAD at Macworld. Ah well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted January 6, 2009 MVC Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think something has gone wrong an apples part. This is prob because the page was found before it should of been seen hehe Didn't work on my media center. Then I tried another PC in the house and it loaded the correct keynote. Then I ran to the media center and it showed the wrong one. So I went back to the other pc that just worked a few seconds a go and that loaded the wrong one too.

Denholm Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 For me iLife '09 and iWork '09 is great news and I will be buying both. As for Mac Mini, new iMac's / Mac Pro's / iPhone Nano.. / Snow Leopard.. I'm actually really happy that none of those got announced today, actually I expected nothing less. Now the reason why I'm happy that no new iMac was announced? Core i7, by late Q1 or perhaps Q2 this year there will likely be new revisions that run cooler and use less power than current 1st gen i7's. At that stage, I bet, Apple will jump in and announce iMac's utilizing the new i7 CPU's and we will be all 'oooh' and 'aaah' ;) Apple Inc, is pulling away from the idea of announcing huge products at Macworld and making those announcements at the Apple HQ - where they have total control over their environment. I'm sure that major new products will be announced by late Q1 or Q2, 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I must say I am really disappointed with this years show.. ESPECIALLY with it being the last!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denholm Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 ^ I'm not. Just enforces the idea that Apple is done with Macworld. Next year if Macworld goes ahead, it will die and that will be the end of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted January 6, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2009 I watched about 4 minutes of Schiller stumbling through his speech and gave up. I guess you just get spoiled by experienced public speakers like Steve Jobs - he makes it seem so natural! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 @evn: I feel the pain... Just under $80 for 361 songs. But don't let it fool ya... I upgraded a smaller portion of my library on 11/27/08 for $23.40. Forget how many tracks that was at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 iWork 09 looks fantastic... the new 17" MBP is quite a marvel, but I was very disappointed regarding any other Mac updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
