The MacWorld 09 keynote has just finished. Apple has introduced iLife 09, iWork 09, iWork.com, New 17" MacBook Pro and iTunes Music Store with DRM-free music, new pricing and song download though 3G network. Form the list above it looks thin, but there are some really major upgrade on the software side with face recognition tagging, location base search (GPS) for iPhoto 09. There is also a new way to export slideshow to iPhone/iPod touch. Major feature upgrade for iMovie with better editing control and many more. iWorks got some heavy improvement... The disappointing side is that there is only "1" new Mac hardware introduction, the 17" MacBook Pro with Unibody design with small overall size and weight. A much improve battery life is a welcome improvement but a non removable design will be a interesting tradeoff. I think Apple is saving the iMac and other product introduction at a later stage during the 25th Mac Anniversary (22nd Jan 1984).
