iLife '09: Real-world test

iWeb
We admit here we never played that much with iWeb '08, but it turns out very little has changed anyway. It's still a dead simple way to create a Web site, with plenty of built-in themes and simple publishing options.

You can now publish your Web pages directly over FTP with a native FTP interface within iWeb, and throw some new widgets into the pages themselves, such as an RSS feed aggregator that pulls in content from places around the Web.

Apart from that it's much the same as last year's version, but that's no bad thing. Simple Web sites, simple interface, good-looking results. Can't complain.

iDVD
Finally, iDVD -- Apple's DVD-creation app. Again, very little new here, but that leaves you with a simple and professional-looking piece of software that allows you to take your final edits from iMovie and publish them to a DVD, complete with themes, animations and menus, playable on any DVD player in the world.
