Jobs also introduced a major revision to iLife, the company’s suite of home media software. The new version, iLife ’08, will cost $79 and come with new versions of iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, iDVD and GarageBand, the five applications in the iLife suite.

iPhoto ’08 will come with the ability to upload photos to a new set of .Mac services, so home photographers can build Web pages with their photos. It also incorporates a new feature called “skimming,” which lets iPhoto users preview images in an album without having to open the album itself.

The most significant upgrade to the iLife suite was to the iMovie application, which changed so much the company decided to give it a new icon, Jobs said. Mac users can create short movies of their home videos with iMovie, but before this new version came out, it was very hard to create a short movie in a short amount of time, he said. The new version lets users drag and drop video clips into a movie template, where transitions and a soundtrack can be added.

The new version of GarageBand lets you create a customized background track for your vocals or instrumental prowess using several different templates, such as rock, blues, jazz, Latin, or reggae.
