Mike Zornek, a Philadelphia area Mac developer, was onsite at Photo Plus (much like our very own Jay Savage) and he had a chance to play around with Aperture. Mike raises a few points that I think are worth repeating:To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

All i can think about when I first heard of aperture: "Wow apple sure has balls for charging almost as much as photoshop for this new software"

I just hope that a few of the features of Aperture make it into iPhoto or Aperture Express. They seem to have done a pretty good job understanding the organizational needs and workflow needs of photographers and if the software works as well as advertised, $500 is cheap.

My biggest question is: will it physically run on a 1ghz PBG4?
The fact that it's short 0.25ghz probably isn't a show-stopper, but I am very curious as to wither or not the "requirement" of a newer video card is absolute or just a strong recommendation.

My take is that it will run on any G4, just like any CoreImage app. However, the speed of CoreImage is quite different between a good GPU and "none" (which is what happ? with a radeon 9200).
Whatever apple says, this is indeed an attack against adobe. It's just indirect. This app, through its functionality and its high price targets specific people: photo professionals. Those are (some of) the people who actually pay the full price for photoshop.
Let us just remember that PhotoShop 1.0 itself was basically an image converter... When apple comes up with the complement to Aperture, if Aperture has managed to get a nice market share it will integrate smoothly and replace photoshop.
