My, My, Macintosh!
Okay - you've probably heard all of this by now, but here goes. iLife, iWork, iShuffle and the Mac Mini are all here!
Completely new app suite called iWork - featuring souped up Keynote, revved to v.2 AND 'Pages', Apple's first word processor since AppleWorks. Includes MSFT Word compatibility. $79, available 1/22/05.
New iLife - every application with major revisions except for iTunes. iPhoto gets RAW support, iMovie is now HD, iDVD now has instant import from tape to DVD. $79, available 1/22/05.
New iPod Shuffle - flash-based iPod is a reality. Those ThinkSecret guys DO have street cred. Basically, an elegant flash drive. Good stuff. 512MB/1GB versions at $99/$149. Available now, if the Apple Store can get back up and running - it's swamped by traffic right now.
And best of all - the new Mac mini! Like a slice of the old cube (about the height of an iPod mini), this baby is sweet. Measuring 6 x 6 x 2.5-inches, it features the following specs: 1.25/1.42GHz G4, 256MB RAM (upgradable to 1GB), ATI Radeon 9200 32MB, 40GB/80GB Ultra ATA, Combo Drive (DVD-ROM, CD burner), Firewire 400, two USB 2.0, Audio out (but no audio in, unfortunately) DVI and VGA output, 10/100BASE-T Ethernet and a 56k modem. Built-to-order options include Bluetooth and Airport. Ships with OSX Panther and iLife '05. Looks like I know what my Mom's getting to video conference and see the baby.
