Macworld 2009

Posted on Jan 9, 2009

I had the pleasure of going to Macworld Expo again this year here in San Francisco. I wish I had more time to attend all the demos, but it was the first week back after the holidays and I had lots of client work. As a Mac-geek, it’s memorable that this year is the last year Apple will participate and the infamous keynote has come and gone.

Some highlights of the keynote:

  • New 17″ MacBook Pro with 320 GB hard drive. Price starting at $2799. Built-in battery (up to 8 hours). Still no removable battery :(
  • iTunes prices has changed to three levels in April with DRM free music. The store is now available by 3G (and not just wi-fi) on iPhones
  • iPhoto’s new features include sorting and finding photos by face recognition, ability to upload directly to Facebook and Flickr, as well as geotagging.
  • iMovie has been updated and has a more precise editor, drag-and-drop features for layering movies
  • Nope, no iPhone nano or Snow Leopard…

    My god! I would love to have that Mac Book Pro. But I guess my 06 MacBook Pro is still champing way. But you can never have too many toys, eh?
