You're in charge: iLife '06

Back in August, we refered to an article by James Stoup at Apple Matters that asked the question, "What's next for the iLife suite?" Mr. Stoup had some great suggestions, like an end-user CGI tool he dubbed "Animator," which would make 3D animation accessable to the likes of you and me (Think "Pixar lite"). Also, Mr. Stoup feels it's high time we got an Apple-branded WYSIWYG web editor that wrapped power, elegance, the iApps and .Mac into one happy, aqua package. I'd get behind that. More after the jump.


I suggested an application I tentatively named "Podcaster" (I think that name is actually in use now) that, as an integrated member of the iLife suite, would make podcasting as easy as pie. Today, with Macworld looming and new technology like FrontRow and Photobooth available to us, I thought it would be fun to revisit the question. So, what would you add? You had some great suggestions last time. In fact, reader benedict murray's idea now seems quite prophetic:

"...Apple could really do with an elegant Television DVR and organizer. With that Apple touch we all know'n'love. Like Tivo to Go but more universal,
maybe bring out a nice bit of hardware as well. I am supremely jealous of Media Centre PC, and with a TV app we'd be so close...and then the rumours can flood over about a Video iPod
."

So, what do you say? You're in charge.
