Apple introduces new features to iPhoto ’09 such as Places and Faces.
Faces automatically scans iPhoto library right after the upgrade, and it might take a while to process all the data. I have 3368 of assorted pictures in my iPhoto Library, and I’m looking at a good 80 minutes for my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo 2.0GHz to process Faces data.
I’m going to post some screenshots from faces, if I remember to.
Tuesday afternoon, Apple releases iPhone Software 2.2.1 with bug fixes and improvements including:
This update is available for both iPhone and iPhone 3G.
By convention, iPod touch Software 2.2.1 should also be released today. I don’t have any iPod touch with me as of this moment.
At MacWorld San Francisco 2009, Apple announced that iLife ’09 would be shipping sometimes in late January. On Monday January 26th, 2009 Apple announced that iLife ’09 would start shipping on January 27th, 2009. Some reported that Best Buy had started selling iLife ’09 on Monday January 26th.
Apple has started fulfilling pre-orders of iLife ’09 and Mac Box Set on Monday and most are arriving on Tuesday January 27th. I’m waiting for the Mac Box Set to arrive at anytime today as it is being delivered by FedEx.
Mac Box Set offers a great value for those buying both iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. It comes with the latest Mac OS X disc for an extra $10 on the retail price. Remember that most of newer Macs comes with its own Mac OS X install disc that wold only work with specific models. If you bought a Mac Pro 6 months prior and you could not find your discs, Mac Box Set is the answer.
iLife ’09, iWork ’09, and Mac Box Set are now available for purchase from Apple and many other retailers.

UPDATE: Video of Phil Schiller’s Keynote is now available. Watch it here.
Phil Schiller is set to deliver MacWorld San Francisco 2009 Keynote on January 9th, on 10:00 Pacific Time. The first question regarding the Keynote is: “What in the world will Steve Jobs be doing during the Keynote?”
Anyway, as usual there are many sites will be providing live coverage for the Keynote. Links are subject to change.
