Future Watch: Macworld 2009

macworld-top-01001So Macworld has come and gone and as this is the last Macworld..ever.. some exciting news did come out of the otherwise lowkey event.

Just to run down the list quickly iTunes will get new pricing. Starting in April their will be three price points of $0.69, $0.99, and $1.29 that will be chosen by the music company. And by the end of the year all 10 million songs in iTunes libaray will be offered DRM free.

Also for the iPhone iTunes will work over the 3G network and not just WiFi for all your music access while on the go. I for one welcome that.

iWork and iLife have been revamped with numerous upgrades and in the hardware department there is the new 17″ Macbook Pro.

Overall it was okay but nothing stellar. There were rumors about a new upgrade for the Mac Mini and new iPhone and iPod Touch. But I guess we will have to wait later in the year for any of that.

One funny thing happened during this event. Macrumorlive.com got hacked during its blog of the event. It was so bad at one point the whole system came down and after a few hours their main site was working again. I can only guess that their system is a windows server and not a mac server.
