An excerpt from John Buck’s book “Timeline”:
Jobs approached Adobe Systems, and asked them to create a consumer version of Premiere that Apple could bundle with the unreleased Mac code-named Kihei. With Apple’s future still uncertain, and Premiere sales growing on the Wintel platform, Adobe said no.
Like so many other things, Jobs was driven by a belief that he was right. When Adobe said no, Jobs created the applications division at Apple that gave us so many great apps over the years.
Apple has updated three of the applications it includes in its iLife ’11 suite of applications – iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto. The new versions, 9.0.4, 6.0.4 and 9.1.5 respectively, are available for download through the Software Update system preference.
Originally scheduled to be released on Friday, Apple on Thursday released two new apps for iPad, GarageBand and iMovie.
If you couldn’t be at the iPad 2 unveiling in San Francisco, now you can watch it for yourself thanks to Apple. The company has posted an iPad 2 keynote video link on its Web site.
Apple on Wednesday introduced the iPad 2 at an event in San Francisco, but there were a couple of surprise app announcements for the platform too.
