They absolutely rock. Numbers is incredible - it actually does what a spreadsheet is supposed to do, and makes it look great at the same time. Pages doesn’t burp at all and it also has what a text search is supposed to be within a word processor (doesn’t the title of an application of “word processor” seem ancient anyway? I digress). The alpha channel selector is also really impressive - this is the holy grail of graphics. No more photoshop.
iPhoto and iMovie are also great updates. I have seen the commentary on iMovie being a “takeaway” for some things. It was good for me to notice that when I opened it up. Yes, it is a takeaway in terms of some of the timing stuff. It is way more responsive though than the last version, and it really does making movies a snap in comparison. The upload to .Mac for iPhone is brilliant. I think it was smart to leave iMovie 6 HD available as a download at the same time. That will fill a niche.
It’s so great that software upgrades can be enjoyable again. It really is fun watching Apple improve their applications in response to what their users want.
Matt and I went to buy our copies of iLife today. Matt also bought iWork. I have to give iLife a huge thumbs-up. I never liked iPhoto before and never kept my photos in there. It was difficult to organize. The new iPhoto kicks ass! iMovie is also great. It took me a little while to find everything but it is so much easier to use. I love that you can easily set a certain length and the Ken Burns effect to all imported photo or just reapply a new length to everything in there. And I love that I can upload directly to YouTube. Here’s my first video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0H_EaYccAQ
