Apple keynote at MacWorld

January 7, 2003 | Science

Lots of news from MacWorld today:

New 17" PowerBook
New 12" PowerBook
Fast web browser, Safari (definately beta)
Keynote presentation software
Final Cut Express, mid-range video editing package
iLife bundle with iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD ($49)
Free upgrades to iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD

Also, FireWire 800, integrated Bluetooth on the new portables, automatic backlit keyboard with ambient light sensors (!), Airport Extreme with 802.11g and 54Mbps (backward compatible with all existing Airport and 803.11b gear).

This is all much more than I expected. The PowerBooks look great. Safari will be great after some v1.0 shakedown. Not sure about Keynote (at $99), but there's not much to love about PPT, so could be good.
