iPhoto is a very much needed app, and one that will make those of us who have huge data bases of photos to manage very happy even if it does gobble up disk space. I look forward to using it with Powerpoint in tandem just for lecture classes. How about map-bases?
I tried it yesterday and Apple made a hit with this one. I don´t need it myself (the only pictures I have on my computer is the desk top pictures that came with X. Not even one porn picture ) but I can see it as a big hit among a lot of people.
Perhaps the coolest feature is the slide show. You can use your iLamp as a picture frame (w or w/o music) when you don´t use it. very cool and another reason for Apple to make the LCD able to turn 90° in rev b.
[edit]
I forgot: Apple need to make the "buy print" international and not just for US and Canada. Either by sending the pictures internationally or by cooperate with national service providers. Here in the EU they only need to have one center since we can buy from all countries without problems with VAT or tax.
I have been trying to talk my mom into getting a Mac for three years... i *almost* had her, but then she opted for a Dell (fortuanatly I got to BTO it for her, so she got FireWire and Ethernet--whew!).
When I showed her iPhoto the other day (she's into geneology--lots or really old family pics) her main response was, "You may make a Mac person out of me yet."
I love the new iMac, but what really caught my attention in the keynote was iPhoto. I am very big into digital photography, and it is a truly amazzing app. In fact, it is apt to be what finally gets me to use X. I installed 10.1 a few days ago and imported all of my pics from the last year (about 2000) into iPhoto. it slowed things down a lot! It is a great app, but all those pictures rought my whole computer (TiBook 500, 256 megs RAM) to a crawl. If i moved the window, the desktop would take a conspicuous amount of time to re-render where it had been, and picture scaling and scrolling was incredibly slow. That was just realy annoying, of course, X tends to rund kinda slowish for me. Right now, I am back in 9 'cause AIM was giving me serious trouble (and AIM has to work properly for me to be happy) and I have office 2001, and I haven't decided yet whether to spend the dough on the upgrade or just run it through classic, among a few other things. So for now, I am staying in 9, but iPhoto keeps calling my name...

Oh yeah.
