I just brought home a shiny new copy of iLife ’06, and it’s pretty bloody impressive. Seitzinger, you listening? You need this. The improvements made to iPhoto alone are worth the price of admission, and I haven’t even started to futz with things like Photocasting and the new Podcast functions in GarageBand. I fired up iWeb once and am sort of staring at it, wondering how exactly they do some of the niftier functions in there – I’m sure it’ll be patently obvious as soon as I crack open the code, but it’s pretty impressive nevertheless.
The only thing I’ve discovered that I’m not so crazy about: it seems the new iPhoto breaks Flickr Export into a million little tiny pieces. I’m anxious to see if they fix that, given their own new insidious plans for “Photocasting”, but we’ll see. Still, very cool new version.
