MacWorld 2006

January 10, 2006

Here is a run down of the new goodies Steve has brought us today:

  • No new iPods, however we do get an FM receiver as an accessory
  • Mac OS X 10.4.4 has Widgets!
  • iLife 2006 has lots of great new features. No FrontRow, No iPhoto/Flickr integration, everything is .Mac, No iTunes updates.
  • iWork 2006 has no features, no spreadsheet. I guess we are still stuck with AppleWorks
  • iMac first Mac to be offered with Intel chip (Intel Core Duo). Available today. Man my iMac G5 is looking old in the tooth and it is not even a year old!
  • Ok, so 10.4.4 is completely native with Universal binaries as are iLife ‘06 and iWork ‘06. Pro apps will be universal in March.
  • I hope 10.4.4 brings an updated iSync to sync to my new SE W600i
  • MacBook Pro, rip Powerbook. Intel Core Duo inside. 15.4″, iSight, $1999 (1.67 Ghz) and $2499 (1.83 GHz) buy today, ship in February.

What no new iPod Shuffle? Powerbooks? iBooks? Mac Mini? DVR? Plasma screens?

Update: A QuickTime stream of the Jobs keynote is now available.
