APPLE'S SUITE OF PRODUCTIVITY and entertainment software, Ilife, will be shipping in its 09 flavour from January 27th.
The bundle of goodies, which comes free with every new Mac computer, will be available from tomorrow on the Apple store for £69 – or $79 (£57) if you are one of our colonial chums – once again proving that Jobs' Mob wouldn't know an exchange rate converter if it jumped up and bit them on their perfectly-toned Californian buttocks.
There are no new applications in this release, but a whole raft of upgrades and improvements.
Iphoto gets face recognition which allows you to group pics of particular people together as well as GPS location functionality.
Imovie gets a speed boost as well as the new precision editor, video stabilisation, advanced drag and drop and animated travel maps.
Garageband introduces a cool new way to learn an instrument with free guitar and piano lessons from the likes of Norah Jones and Sting, as well as the ability to download additional (paid for) lessons.
Iweb now allows the inclusion of Isight vids and pics as well as working with Youtube and RSS feeds and allowing updates to me atomagically added to your Facebook page.
You can see a whole bunch of videos and tutorials here.

. . . those exchange rates don't seem to bad as the EU/GBP prices probably include VAT whereas the Yanky dollar is probably excl. sales tax.
Spot on comment Phil, the conversion is (almost) OK. You can blame HMG for the lions' share of the 'discrepancy'.
The rest is probably a bit of digit preference rounding.
