Apple: ALL the rumors were true

Well that's surprising! Apple rolled out everything! There's a new version of Quicktime, version 7, that will ship with Tiger. It supports much larger frame sizes at the same bitrate with the H.263 codec. There's a new version of Final Cut Express that works with HD footage and now includes Soundtrack and LiveType. iLife has new upgrades for iPhoto, iDVD, Garageband and iMovie. iMovie, like it's bigger brother Final Cut Express, also supports HD footage. Then there's the new iWork, which includes a new word processor called Pages (compatible with MS Word BTW) and an update to the presentation application Keynote (compatible with PowerPoint).

Then on the hardware front they pulled out a new low-cost Mac ($499USD) called the Mac Mini and a new Flash based iPod called the iPod Shuffle.

Now if you take into account that they lowered the price of their Cinema Displays, upgraded the Xserve and introduced Xsan last week, I have say they're definitely firing on all cylinders. It makes your head spin. Wow!
