iLife and iWork '09 announcements on 10/14?

A TUAW tipster pointed us to a unsubstantiated, but intriguing post on Mac Soda noting that iLife and iWork '09 could be announced at the October 14th notebook event.

The current versions of iLife and iWork were announced on August 7, 2007 at the same event where the aluminum iMacs debuted, and previous iLife/iWork introductions have also been touted as "one more thing" at hardware-oriented product announcements.

The post doesn't provide any details of enhancements for the applications. In terms of speculating about what could change, iMovie could use some major enhancements to usability after last year's complete rewrite, and iWeb could benefit from better capabilities for publishing to non-MobileMe servers and iPhone-specific templates. The Numbers spreadsheet package could use a lot of new functionality, including macros, while Pages needs new templates.

TUAW readers -- what would you like to see in an iLife or iWork update? Leave a comment.

Thanks to Johannes for the link

Having already run into the plethora of tips and suggestions, I have yet to encounter a meaningful way of handling (automatic) updates to hyperlinks inside a pages document. I have tried clicking on "i" (inspector) and embedding these hyperlinks (with links to the other pages in the same document) but there is apparently no way to ensure that the resultant page numbers (i.e., hyperlinks to other pages) are correct. Is there an apple blog which provides such a process? Thanks

This has probably been mentioned, but in iWork it would be nice to have the ability to SAVE in other formats as opposed to having to EXPORT. Also, it would be nice to use other formats as defaults. ODF support is greatly needed as well.

If Numbers could do pivot tables and accommodate large data sets, I would never use Excel again.

Would be nice if Imovie returned to the previous version (HD) but updated to conform to the newer overall Mac application interface, like the current Media Browser for instance.

Raise the bar on Iphoto and Iweb.
