    I will primarely buy iLife '09 ...Krikke -- 07/02/09

    I will primarely buy iLife '09 for the Places feature in iPhoto. I'm a geotagging fan and now there is a cool way to handle my geotagged photos. I'm using the iPhone app GeoLogTag for a while now to geotag my Flickr photos, but since it also exports GPX files, I can use it to geotag all my photos (in combination with HoudahGeo).

    The good: Places in iPhoto '09

Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • iPhoto now has face recognition, geotagging and social network integration
  • iMovie regains advanced tools lost in iMovie '08
  • GarageBand now has music lessons
The bad:
  • iPhoto's face detection isn't perfect
  • Social network integration needs some work
  • iMovie is lacking for advanced users
The bottomline:

Apple iLife '09 is a great application suite for simple media organising and editing, and the addition of features like face recognition, geotagging and music lessons makes it worth the update.
