I’m not a really big fan of Macintoshes but I thought I’d share with you what happened at Macworld and what is coming out this month after the announcements. So here’s the run down on Macworld Expo 2009:
- [ad#ad2-right]17 Inch Mac Book Pro (Buy it From the Amazon Store) — “$2,799, 2.66 GHz and 4 GB of RAM, 320GB hard drive” and They have a battery exchange program for those who have bad batteries. Engadget has some really good video’s of this new Laptop. I also looked around Slashdot did a really good job on the summary of what happened at Macworld. They are claiming it will be able to run 8 hours on battery but I will wait to see what people say after they get there hands on this.
- I-Life 09 (Buy the older version from Amazon 2008) — Today at Macworld, Apple showed it off. You can see the photos from Gizmodo and it looks nice. Some of the stuff this can do is Facial Recognition, also use it with Flickr and Facebook. Geotag Reversal so it can look up where you took the picture and pin point it on the map for later reference. I-life 09 will cost 79$ solo or 99$ for Family.
- Garage Band 09 (Buy Garageband 2008 Tutorial DVD from Amazon) — Some very popular guitar artists teaches you how to play a guitar. Some Names that teach you how to play are Sting, And Noah Johns. You will be able to buy more lessons on Itunes for 3.99 a lesson! Not bad if you want to teach yourself.
Last thing and this is really important, Itunes will begin selling 3 tiers of songs 69 cents, 99 cents, and 1.29$ depending the popularity of the songs. Apple also dropped 8 Million Songs from DRM. They expect to have it up to 10 Million songs buy March. Apple will also sell songs over the air on the Iphone 3G (Buy the Iphone 3G fro Amazon), so you no longer have to have your computer near you to buy a song. This is about all Apple talked about at Macworld Keynote, if you have any other things that I missed buy all means leave a comment.
