New iMacs, iLife08 and iWork08!

Steve with New iMacs

So Steve announced the expected updates to the Mac:

  • New iMacs – aluminum enclosure, extremely thin keyboard and only 20″ and 24″ models – starts at $1199 ! Yikes, thats the config of my current 20″ that cost me $1699 !!
  • New iLife ’08 – Updated iPhoto, new iMovie and minor updates to the rest.
  • Beefed up .Mac – 10 GB of disk space for .Mac accounts at the same $99 a year. Personal Domains feature – the best feature so far !
  • Numbers – new to iWork ’08 – Finally a Apple designed spreadsheet !!
  • Mac Mini Refresh – Now with Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz and 2.0 Ghz processors

I am most excited about the new iWeb – it has personal domain support at last. So I can display pictures on my own domain name !
