After the usual “hey-look-at-how-much-money-we-are-making” portion of the keynote event, Apple announced their newest products.
iLife ’11 officially announced:
- Same apps but all updated.
- iPhoto – New full screen modes, Facebook enhancements, and sharing tools integrated with HTML emails and social apps.
- iMovie – New audio editing, one step effects, create your own (cheesy) movie trailers and people finder.
- Garageband – Groove matching (it’s like AutoTune but for people who can’t keep a beat) and a virtual music teacher.
- Comes free with every new Mac and $49 to upgrade on your current Mac.
- iLife’11 available today.
