Apple has introduced iLife ‘08, featuring a new version of iPhoto and a reinvented iMovie.
iPhoto ‘08 automatically organizes photo libraries into Events that let users manage their photo collections, and iMovie ‘08 introduces a new way for users to quickly make movies and share them online.
Both iPhoto and iMovie integrate seamlessly with the new .Mac Web Gallery, Apple’s new service for .Mac members to create and host online websites for their photos and videos.
iLife ‘08 also features iWeb ‘08, with live web widgets such as Google Maps that let users create websites, and GarageBand ‘08, with its new Magic GarageBand feature that makes it easy for both musicians and non-musicians to create songs.
“Apple has taken iLife ‘08 to a new level that is years ahead of anything available for the PC,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We think iLife ‘08 gives Mac users even more reasons to love their Macs, and PC users even more reasons to switch.”
iLife ‘08 is available for a suggested retail price of $79 through the Apple Store (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.
The iLife ‘08 suite of applications will be included with all new Macs beginning today.
