  • iPhoto now has face recognition, geotagging and social network integration, iMovie regains advanced tools lost in iMovie 08, GarageBand now has music lessons
  • iPhotos face detection isnt perfect, Social network integration needs some work, iMovie is lacking for advanced users
  • Apple iLife 09 is a great application suite for simple media organising and editing, and the addition of features like face recognition, geotagging and music lessons makes it worth the update.

  • Places feature in iPhoto, image stabilisation feature in iMovie, Sting teaching you Roxanne in GarageBand
  • Faces isnt perfect, to get the most out of music lessons youll have to pay extra
  • Think refining an already good product rather than an all out show stopper. Still if youve got the cash, go for it...

  • iLife '09 may be just an evolutionary update form last year's version, but that evolution is far from incremental. If you don't need the new features, don't rush to upgrade, but if you've been holding off a purchase pending a better application suite comi...

  • iMovie dazzles once more, Faces and Facebook integration, GarageBand lessons are quite effective
  • iWeb remains weak, iDVD not updated, No Blu-ray support, GB lessons require a dual-core Intel Mac
