No More iPhoto or iMovie Downloads
CNet reports on the new announcements at MacWorld and reveal Apple's new iLife strategy:
The iLife package, including GarageBand, iTunes, iDVD, iPhoto and iMovie will cost $49, or will be free with new Macs, Jobs said. The company will no longer provide free downloads of iPhoto or iMovie, a strategy it seriously considered last year and that could anger some customers.
Indeed rumors of this strategy met angry responses last year when this plan was leaked.
iDVD has never been a "free" download due to the size of the application, and GarageBand appears to be of similar proportions. Apparently, iPhoto and iMovie will now be bundled with iLife ($49) and with new Macintoshes exclusively. Meanwhile, iTunes remains a free download.
