I didn't see that thread, it being in the wrong forum.

"Digital Hub - Discussion of digital peripherals and the iApps, including iLife."



Not only is the name of the new suite iWorks, but ThinkSecret has stated that it will be very similar to iLife (separate but collaborative applications).

Digital Hub is intended for discussion of iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, iSync, iCal - all programs that interact with external data devices to provide a central hub for digital data.



iWorks, despite the name, does not fall in that category. The fact that it is expected to be a bundle of apps ala iLife is irrelevant, just as the fact that while Office is a bundle of apps, like iLife, it does not qualify for discussion here. Software is the correct forum.

I hope that they give Keynote users a free upgrade

Becuase, as i envision it, it will be a seperate program from Keynote, but Document will come bundled with any new mac, but if you can also decide to upgrade to the whole package thang, you know what I mean?



Like, free Document, but Database and Keynote and Document bundle costs money, but you can upgrade to the whole thing if you have Keynote or Document to the full thing,,, does this make sense?



Because, they still need to give away something free like AppleWorks on the new Macs, right? I MEAN, am I RIGHT!?

well whatever it's going to do....apple is going to have to buy the name, if in fact it will be called iworks (or iwork).
