iLife '11 announced, lacks mention of iWeb, iDVD
Apple announced iLife '11 today, available immediately for $49 for those wanting to upgrade an existing iLife suite, or free with the purchase of a new Mac.
iLife features overhauls of iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband. Missing from any mention at the "Back to the Mac" event is the fate of iWeb and iDVD. They appeared in the row of icons, but no new features were announced. Apple's iLife site has not updated yet, and the Apple Store is still down, but as soon as we get more information we'll let you know!

Wow - I was waiting for some much needed improvement to iWeb. The only thing this makes me think is that Apple has something else planned for web dev. Everyone should hold off making too big of a stink - I bet Apple has a "Pro" app coming ASAP that we want for HTML 5 stuff. The fact they left iWeb alone is maybe more telling...
Wait for it....it will be cool.
I could be mistaken, but if you look at Apple's page for the upcoming Mac App Store, the images suggest that iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand would be sold indiviually for $14.99. If iWeb and iDVD are not to be updated, you could save $5 by buying them separately when the App Store is launched (early 2011?).
I'm in the UK, so I'm guessing the same apps will sell for around £9.99 or more realistically £12.99. It's still a saving on the £45 package if you already own iLife '09.
As I said, I could be wrong, but I'll wait and see.
The folks over at realmacsoftware (i.e. RapidWeaver) ought to be doing a happy dance right about now.

Does that mean we can add a facetime widget to our webpages?
Sorta cool idea...put on a business page...customer on iMac calls email address...iMac at business answers on thier facetime.
Sweet. Think of all the remote video that can be accomplished with cheap iPod touches with mifi.
Here's my open letter to Steve Jobs concerning iWeb:

I love how you say it's your entire web presence while using posterous.com
And then, going back to your main posterous blog, you also mention twitter, facebook, amazon, and zenfolio.
Interesting that you don't mention KatrinaCottages.com. Did you use iWeb for that too?
The source says "no", since there's no generator for that one. Whoops.
Maybe, just maybe, if you want to be indignatly upset you should actually tell the truth in your emails instead of resorting to hyperbole.
I was hoping for bluray authoring.

Mind you, that's typical of apple - it took them long enough to develop a new mouse and keyboard to match the iMac ... which they themselves actually dont! (Why dont we have a black key version???)
Lame Apple!
Can I go from '08 to '11?
