Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
At the launch of Mac App Store, the rumored iWork ’11 is nowhere to be found. Apple is still featuring iWork ’09 on Mac App Store.
It is interesting how Mac App Store automatically detects iWork ’09 installations on my MacBook Pro. Mac App Store also detects that iLife ’11 is installed. It is obvious that the application itself must be Mac App Store compatible so it would be detected when installed.
UPDATE:
Mac OS X 10.6.6 Update is now available on Apple Support Downloads page.
Apple just released Mac OS X 10.6.6 coinciding with Mac App Store Opening. So much for the rumors that it would open at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. The build number is 10J567, while the previous versions carry the build number 10J537.
Thursday January 6th, 2011.
Mac App Store is scheduled to open today. Some sites are reporting that the Mac App Store will open at 12:00 PM Eastern Time or 5:00 PM UTC. As the zero hour draws near, it is unclear if Mac OS X 10.6.6 would be a required prerequisite for Macs to access the Mac App Store. According to some reports, Apple seeded Mac OS X 10.6.6 build 10J537 to Developers back in December 2nd, 2010.
We will see if Mac App Store requires Mac OS X 10.6.6 in 4 hours and 13 minutes from this original post time.
January 6th, 2011 marks the kick-off for International Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. Companies will be showcasing their upcoming product line-up for 2011. Expect a lot of tablet computing devices from different companies. Android will the the OS Flavor of the show. Microsoft will be there, again with their version of tablet. I’m looking forward to new DSLR cameras from Canon and Nikon. Maybe this year we will see improved consumer level camcorders.
January 6th, 2011 is also the scheduled opening day for Mac App Store. This also means Mac OS X 10.6.6 will be available shortly before the Mac App Store opening.
