iWeb
The rumors were true: Theres also a new
application bundled with iLife 06 called iWeb.
iWeb has been developed to help iLife users share
their content photos, blogs, music, movies and
more through Web publishing. The integrated
media browser provides you with direct access to
the content managed by your other iLife
applications.
iWeb supports one-click publishing to .Mac
accounts, and features a variety of built-in
templates, support for RSS feeds and more. A
theme-based motif lets you create a coherent site
and update it whenever the mood strikes without
having to worry about breaking the site in the
process.
iLife 06 is now available, and costs $79 the
same price as last years version. Its also
being bundled for free on new iMacs starting
today.
Jobs mentioned in passing that Apples .Mac
service, a subscription-based online service that
provides users with Web publishing, online
synchronization and other tools and features, now
has more than one million paying subscribers.
iWork 06
Last year Apple introduced a new product suite
called iWork. The suite comprised Apples Keynote
presentation software with a new word
processor/page layout application called Pages.
iWork has been updated for 2006.
Shipping today, iWork 06 costs $79, same as
before. There are no new applications in
iWork 06, but new to this release is the ability
to create 3D charts, more advanced imaging,
masking, calculating tables and more. A 30-day
free trial demo will be included on new Macs.
