Phil to announce integrated iLife in Leopard
Lately Schiller has been quiet, but quiet like a coiled spring or a jungle cat ready to strike.
We are officially starting the rumor that Phil is on the verge of announcing a major change in Apple’s two flagship software packages. Along with the long anticipated official release date announcement, the rest of Leopard’s features will be announced including the bundling of the latest update to the iLife suite with Leopard.
Steve hinted at it a little at the last WWDC when he mentioned that Leopard will include the whole package of some currently disparate pieces of software such as FrontRow, PhotoBooth, and BootCamp, but few have speculated that Apple would go so far as to bundle iLife. While an update for the iLife suite was expected in January as has occurred for several years running, that software currently sells separately from the OS for $79.
Microsoft’s recently released new OS Vista also comes bundled with their versions of movie editing and photo management software, but they suck.
We’re not sure yet on iWork or if this means a higher price tag for OS X.
