iLife '08 update adds MobileMe support

As Scott already posted, iLife '08 just released a slew of updates. Although Software Update says that over performance and general compatibility issues were addressed in most products, the biggest change is MobileMe support for all iLife '08 applications.

iPhoto, iWeb and iMovie are now properly linked with the MobileMe service. This should be welcome news to iWeb customers who have been unable to maintain or update elements of their MobileMe (nee .Mac) pages since the transition earlier this month.

Likewise, galleries and movie can now be published directly to the newly branded mobile offering. You know, assuming you can get the service to work.

F-ck this trainwreck that is MobileMe. I can't even log in any more. And I'm sure TUAW won't publish my comment; as they haven't done so for my last several criticisms of this horrible service. Biased much? Seems that the press hasn't truly captured Apple's huge failure with this launch; a bit odd isn't it? Calendar doesn't work, Mail rarely works... NEW BUYERS/SUBSCRIBERS BEWARE.

WOW! The little "cloud" icons in iWeb looks soo ridiculous. I feel like I'm using kid software now.

I'm not sure about the other services, but iPhoto has been working great for me this past week, and I've been using it heavily. I welcome the updates. If it works, and Apple is pushing to make there products work even better, that's just icing on the cake, folks.
We'll see how it goes, but so far so good.
This reminds me of the updates from 10.5 to .1, .2, .3, .4. No glitches on any of the OS updates. I'm impressed. If it was due to performance and stability issues. They have all been stable fro me.
Kudos to Apple and their team.

...How about adding geo-tagged photo support to iPhoto? So you can click on a "Reveal Location" button on a tagged photo from the iPhone and Google Maps pops open with a pin. I want to see that happen soon.

As an aside, I am glad to see that this update has fixed the problem with photo galleries showing up correctly in Firefox 3.

With the money I'd spend for a year of Mobile Me, I could upgrade my iMac's RAM to 4GB.

And still you can't invite people after publishing an iPhoto photo gallery by clicking on the 'enveloppe button' in iPhoto. In the past iPhoto would create and open an e-mail with a link to the gallery, the username and password. Now al you get is a chaotic email with ads for MobileMe. Bummer.

One thing that I miss. Hit Counter numbers on the main .mac page. In
looking for a job, I have a counter on my resume site, and it lets me
know how many times its being hit. Now I have to actually go to the
site and see the number myself, which of course adds to the number of
hits. It would be nice if Apple would put that info in the iWeb
section in Mobile me. They have when the page was last modified, it
wouldn't be that hard to add that info.

Glad they've addressed the over performance. We can't have that.

I wonder if this fixes the iWeb photo galleries in Firefox 3?
