Review: GarageBand '11 is worth diving into

by Brett Terpstra (Nov 1st, 2010)

iLife '11 has a lot of goodies, but none impressed me more than GarageBand's new capabilities (although I am pretty enthralled with some of the new iMovie features).

by Mel Martin (Oct 29th, 2010)

When iLife '11 was announced, I was quite excited to hear there was an update to iPhoto, and even more surprised to learn my local Apple Store had the software in stock the day after the "Back to the Mac" event.

by Michael Grothaus (Oct 21st, 2010)

Yesterday's announcement of iLife '11 brought some cool new features across the suite... well, most of the suite anyway. As many people have noticed, only iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band were updated. iWeb and iDVD got no love besides small code changes that make them compatible with the new ...

The iWeb component of iLife '09 has just been updated to version 3.0.2.
