Apple's Rumored Office Suite

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-much-else-happening-today dept.

Several anonymous readers noted that the mac rumor mill is churning already with news for the upcoming MacWorld. The current rumor is a new office suite to replace the incredibly dated AppleWorks and incredibly bloated and slow MS Office.

  1. Man, Slashdot is really getting behind. Sub-$500 by GFLPraxis · · Score: 1, Redundant

    This rumor is a few days old, though still good. What I'm shocked about is that while /. reported this rumor (a good one), they didn't report the BETTER rumor.

    Namely, the Sub-$500 Mac.

    AppleInsider also reports on it, calling it sub-$600 (ThinkSecret has however a near-perfect track record), and saying it has USB 2.0, FireWire, DVI, VGA via a dongle, and TV out.

    Looks sweet.

    As for this new iWorks, something not mentioned is that its supposed to include Keynote 2. Keynote is amazing from what I've heard, and if this is true, that'd be awesome. Especially if its included with the cheap Mac.

    I bet you stop listening to bands once they get radio play.

    I'm pretty sure Slashdot did report that sub-$500 Mac awhile ago. I already knew about it and I don't really keep up with MAc news, except for what makes the front page of Slashdot. It must have been here.
