Apple Event Unveils New Products

Yesterday Apple unveiled their new line of products for their desktop operating system the Macintosh. These new products included a brand new version of Apple ILife, new Macbook Airs, and their new generation of their OS, called Lion. To start, Apple has given us a refresh of their software suite named ILife. The refresh includes new things in IPhoto, IMovie, and GarageBand. Nothing said about new IWeb or IDVD. To start, IPhoto includes a small bundle of new features, such as full screen, beautifully made cards, better sharing capabilities, and more. This really isn't a big change but provides us with a little more options to make the software more convenient and easy to use. For IMovie, Apple now adds very simple and easy to used audio editing, which only needs a click and a drag to be able to operate it. Next, they added an option for making beautiful and professional-looking movie trailers for a home movie. Too bad I have a Windows 7 computer, Windows Live movie maker really doesn't cut it (or come even remotely close to cutting it.) Last, Apple has now updated their GarageBand application which really helps musicians of every level. For those starting out, GarageBand offers lessons on playing basic chords and learning how to play. For those trying to form a band, advanced (but as simple as can be) editing by GarageBand that allows bands that were out of tune to sync up with the main musician of the band (or the one that is playing on-tune, at least,) and offers options to spread out and make notes longer for quick edits to make your band sound good as can be. Now onto the new OS, Lion. To be honest, it was nothing amazing, and it definitely was not as exciting as it could have been. It now offers an app store for people who want to buy things such as IWork without going to the store. Also, it offers something that will be replacing expose called the mission control (I think.) Other than that, very minor changes were made. And at last, to the new Macbooks. The new Macbook Air is now available in two sizes (11.6 inch-13.3 inch) and offers updated graphics chips. The 11.6 inch to me kind of is like a notebook (that costs 1,000 dollars) but runs faster and just a little nicer. Don't forget to follow me on Twitter, and please share. See you tomorrow!
