As many of you have requested I go over what is on my Mac. A lot of you have asked me what I use to edit videos or create my logo or what I use in general. I show and go over all the applications on my Mac. If you have any suggestions for applications you think I should look into, please comment below.

Apple released Pages on iPhone not too long ago and so I decided to show the features and what it was al about on the iPad and iPhone 4.  Check out the video for all the details.

A little disclaimer:  This video was created before Apple introduced iCloud.  The features of the app basically stay the same, but the app now saves to iCloud on its own.

The Mac App Store is now live.  The promised new way to purchase apps for your Mac can be had by using your software update on any Mac equipped with Snow Leopard.  The store launches with over 1000 Applications which include the likes of iWork and Aperture.  The prices are more reasonable too, with Aperture ringing in at a now affordable $79.99 and iWork now split up for those who don’t want the whole suite with Pages, Numbers and Keynote costing just $14.99 a piece.  The App store itself functions as a separate piece of software on your Mac and promises a pain free installation and update system.  We’ll be sure to put up an overview as soon as we have had a little time with it.

Apple has released a new series of Podcasts on itunes for those wanting to get more familiar with their Mac and software.  The Find Out How series includes video podcasts on Mac, Mobileme, iPhoto, iWeb, iMovie, Garageband, iWork and Aperature.  All of the Podcasts are free and downloadable via iTunes on your Mac, iPhone and iPod Touch.

Apple continues their keynote by introducing Keynote or rather iWork for the iPad.  Instead of just being a big e-reader and iPod Touch the new iPad can use Pages, Numbers and Keynote all specially designed with a multi-touch interface.

Update: Each app from iWork is just $9.99

Imagine a world without Word and Office.  What we use, Open Office, Google Docs or perhaps iWork?  Either way we are sure this is not the end of MS Office as it bring Microsoft a bit too much cash flow for them to just set it aside.

  Apple has given us updates for iLife and iWork which improve stability and has some fixes.  The updates do not specify what exactly is being updated other than what is previously mentioned here.  Apple also updated the Keynote Remote App for iPhone.  You can getthe update now via software update.

• iPhoto 8.0.1 which "improves overall stability and addresses minor issues in a number of areas, including internet connectivity, keyword import, and slideshow export."
• iLife Support 9.0.1 which "improves overall stability and addresses a number of other minor issues. It is recommended for all users of Aperture, iLife ’09, and iWork ’09."
• AirPort Client Update 2009-001 for Intel Macs, which "addresses issues with roaming and network selection in dual-band environments."
• AirPort Utility 5.4.1 (Mac) for managing the Airport Express, Extreme, and Time Capsules.
• AirPort Utility 5.4.1 Windows - the same for Windows
•  

  If you are wanting to use iLife 09′ and iWork 09′ and still need OSX leopard, this set is for you.  Apple has conveniently included them all in one set for just $169.  The new iWork and iLife 09 suites require Leopard, so this could be a more affordable way to get everything you need without paying an arm and a leg.

  Apple will be holding their event in Cupertino, California tomorrow morning at 10am Pacific, 1PM Eastern as most of you know.  There is one thing we know for sure about the event as Apple has already notified us of the upcoming notebooks.  

The upcoming notebooks have been revamped with a nice "Brick" of Aluminum.  We can see below what the new notebooks will look like as far as their trackpad and keyboard are concerned. 

Many rumors have hinted at an $800 dollar price point which would make sense to make the MacBook even more competitive.  Maybe they will call it the MacBook Light?  Although that sort of name implies cheapness and we doubt Apple would want that image about anything they sell.

The next rumor is that the new MacBooks will offer an option for Blu-ray.  This rumor seems to make sense and Apple has backed blu-ray from the start.

The Mac Mini was rumored to be the "Brick" to begin with, but later turned out to be a process.  We would still love to see a Mac mini revamp as they are notebook based. 

One of the other rumors we seem to know for sure is that Apple will be making the switch from Intel video chipsets to NVIDIA chipsets.  This is not really a rumor at this point and we only have to guess which chipsets they are using.

An Apple HDTV being in the works is a rumor, but we are doubting you will hear or see anything about it tomorrow.  

Finally there have been rumors about the release of iWork and iLife ’09 coming out.  We tend to think this is speculation as Apple has been on a 2 year release schedule for the i-suite of apps.

We would like to see more of Snow Leopard and see what benefits may come our way.  Check back for full coverage of all the releases and announcements from the event.

If you haven’t viewed all the leaked case pictures we have 6 or so of them here
