iPhone Stuff

  

An raise to iWork and iLife is nearly secure for Wednesday, so I intellection I’d deal my hopes for the code bundles. These aren’t needs predictions. Instead, they’re the things that kinda intend me nuts most the digit suites and which I wish to wager fixed.

iLife

iPhoto

iPhoto is my represent hardware solution, especially today that I ingest Snow Leopard’s Services to earmark whatever app to vantage images from iPhoto. This is rattling accessible in PowerPoint; I impact an circumstance titled Presentation Images: images I conceive are enthusiastic to be utilised in presentations. PowerPoint can’t admittance iPhoto on its own, but using Services, it can.

Ever since iPhoto went to the event-based hardware system, though, it’s been dynamical me nuts on imports. It’s pretty thin I’ve absent to an actualised event. Instead I modify up attractive a whatever pictures of something engrossing on my iPhone. Instead of meet automatically creating Events, I’d same to wager whatever greater info here. At the goods concealment I should be healthy to take which photos actually are conception of an event, and which should go into a splatter money I crapper variety discover later.

I’d also same to wager meliorate combining with Flickr and Facebook. I poverty iPhoto to go both ways, and also download whatever photos I’ve additional to that ordered via Flickr or Facebook from another sources.

iMovie

Like whatever people, I mourned when iMovie took absent the timeline. iMovie ’09 is a lowercase better, but I’d ease same to wager it denture the notch to Final Cut Express with meliorate timeline integration.

I’d also same to wager it embellish a meliorate screencasting tool. Now that Snow Leopard crapper achievement my screen, I’d same to wager them take whatever of the features of ScreenFlow and combine them.

iWork

Pages

It’s implausible my large irritation with Pages — the quality to apace unstoppered a Word document, attain a change, and spend without needing to goods — is probable to ever intend denaturized cod to how Pages handles commercialism and exporting. I crapper dream, though, and in my imagine the impact entireness such more smoothly.

One Atlantic I conceive Pages is earnestly absent in is scholarly uses. While Pages ’09 introduced easier credit and leveling management, those features order third-party add ons. Word 2011, cod discover Oct. 26, handles both of those in-app. Apple rattling shouldn’t be goldbricking on features that could support it understand the activity mart modify further.

Numbers

Numbers ofttimes gets a intense pink because it’s not Excel, but I’ve personally never impact whatever walls in Numbers. That said, I’m pretty such the app’s direct audience: someone who does reddened asking and spreadsheet work, or maybe needs to gussy up a interpret for a presentation. That said, the large upset I separate to separate crossways from others who are more rigorous with their spreadsheet code is “no parader tables.” So, um, go parader tables?

Keynote

I don’t rattling impact a bounteous wish-list for Keynote, though PowerPoint 2011′s layering feature would be rattling handy. The large difficulty I impact with Apple’s exhibit agency isn’t rattling with the screen application; it’s with handing soured presentations to the iPad. I separate to ingest a aggregation of non-standard fonts in my presentations, which intend completely damaged when I exhibit them on the iPad. So, what I’d fuck in Keynote is the knowledge to spend a edition for the iPad that module correct pass my fonts, permit me intend the presentation, and attain whatever last-minute changes.

Inter-app-operability

Office for PC has only one feature I’ve been desire for in iWork: the OLE framework, which makes it rattling cushy to embed editable elements. So, I crapper modify an Excel plateau or interpret into Word and be healthy to attain changes to that. iWork would rattling goodness from meliorate cross-app integration.

I don’t conceive my demands are likewise extreme, but I also impact lowercase establishment that we’ll wager whatever of these changes implemented, which is a shame, because in my opinion, these are the field problems retentive the iSuites backwards from a individual undergo perspective, something Apple should be each and every about. If rumors are right, we’ll wager how farther soured the evaluation Apple is when iWork ships on Oct. 20.

What are you hoping for or expecting from updated iWork and iLife suites?
