Geschreven door Enigmatux op 07 januari 2009 om 14h10
Yesterday, many people looked forward to the famous keynote of Phil Schiller, right hand man of Steve Jobs, presented at Macworld 2009 to discover novelties suggested by Apple. 
Some expected to see a new iMac, a Mac mini, an iPhone Nano... but nothing like have been presented, save a new MacBook Pro 17".
Well, this first keynote concerned mostly large software updates of Apple, interesting novelties, but not really extraordinary.
On the menu of this program :
The suite of multimedia software iLife '09 with updates of :
- iPhoto '09 : this new version of the photo management software integrates face detection to identify faces of people in your photos and face recognition to match faces that look like the same person (such as Google Picasa), the integration with Facebook and Flick, themed slideshows...
- iMovie '09 : the video editing software brings some new features such as video stabilization (to reduce camera shake in your clips), new titles, transitions and effects (it introduces 18 new animated titles, and the Title Browser gives you a sneak peek at every one), advanced " Drag and Drop ", etc.
- GarageBand '09 : this latest version of this application, which allows users to create music or podcasts, introduces lessons to learn piano and guitar through high quality videos tutorials. Attention, only 9 lessons, presented by great artists like Sting, Nora Jones, etc, are offered, then the videos tutorials are not free.

The office suite iWork '09 :
- a new version of Keynote : new models of transition, 3D animation, new theme to customize and an application to control your presentation via iPhone or iPod Touch
- more than 250 new features for Numbers

- a new web service called iwork.com to host and share your work
The presentation of the new 17-inch MacBook Pro : 1920 by 1200 pixel resolution, just 0.998 inch thin and 6.6 pounds, a standard glossy display or an optional antiglare display, a large 320GB hard drive, a FireWire 800 port, a battery that lasts up to 8 hours. It will be available at the end of January and it will cost 2799 $.
The announcement of abandonment of DRM for iTunes and a new ratemaking.
So you have probably understood, there are no big surprises, and nothing really impressive in this keynote turned more towards software than hardware, but there are still interesting updates which delight many users.
Well, what do you think about these novelties ?
