An astute Mac Rumors reader has noted a slip-up on Apple’s Garageband website which reveals that iLife ’06 and a product called “iWeb” will soon be released — presumably at Macworld San Francisco. The Apple page provides links discussions on “iWeb”, listed as a product along with iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand and iTunes.

I wonder if it’s a website creation application (ie: GoLive) or if it’s a new type of app.

Nice. Next week cannot get here soon enough.
yeah… It could be something similar to Rapid Weaver. A very easy web site creation app. would probably work directly with .Mac. Ummm…
Perhaps iWeb is a re-incarnation of Claris Home Page?

You’ve got to be right on the money there. All your media content wrapped into a website using iLife. Drag and drop like GoLive, and with blog creation built in.

It’s probably just that…a web app with some extras…hence the other rumor out there about the terabyte of storage on .Mac. I think January 10th is going to genuinely shock some people.
iWeb may be an extension of .Mac. Not sure how, though. It may not be a program, but part of the service.
Just an idea.
Why does the screenshot look like it’s from a Windows computer?
You guys are soooooooo sued for reporting this.
My guess:
A blogging tool for .Mac members. But I hope it’s more than that.
Someone is sooooooooooo fired for f-cking this up.
And just think, if it is a web tool it’s already better than FrontPage. Well, o.k., that’s not saying much since FP is as low as you can go.
This site isn’t going to get sued for something that was posted on a pulbic page at Apple, however the part about someone getting fired may be the case. I do find it amusing to some degree how people almost cheer for the thought of someone losing their job at Apple. Like they have this sick dream of steve lowering these people unside down by their feet into a shark tank.
I remember the rumors several years about iWeb. It was supposed to be the next gen browser for the Mac.

It is 1 terabyte of bandwidth, not storage.
They already have a web page creation tool for .mac. Integrating an app into iLife that only works with .mac would be stupid.
That´s it? Sorry, but BFD.
iWeb – so you can make your own blog – as if that is something new????
Wow – I am so pumped for Macworld.
maybe.
not.
Man, I really screwed up when I made those postings to my former employer’s website. Ironically, I was using iWeb to do it. Back to freelance work and now I have more time to perfect my dancing gopher page.
The next big thing for the average computer user could well be putting all his “stuff” on the web, so he can share it with friends & family– music, pictures, video, thoughts, family trees, etc. Let’s call this iWeb. Apple has a good start with this with its .Mac offering. But many users will want to go beyond the canned capabilities of .Mac — maybe even run a small home business on the web.
What is needed is a set of programs that do the basic iWeb functions. These must be written in a language that is easy to read/learn/understand/modify by non-programmers.
CFML is the answer — nothing else comes close.
Yes, you can do this today — and the CF engine required is free.

iWeb is definitly a Web creation tool. Simple drag & drop elements that can all be styled with the click of a button.
My $0.02
I doubt that it’s just for .Mac or that it’s just a service because it was listed along with other iApps, but, interestingly, not at the top of the page. I wonder if it will be part of iLife 06, iWork 06, or maybe a stand alone app?
all the nipple slips at Apple.com? half a dozen a year it seems like.
Hey Frank,
It looks like he is using Firefox in OS X, and running Shapeshifter to change the look of the OS.

I am beginning to think that these “slip ups” are a part of Apple’s strategy to hype and bring attention to Macworld Expo. I mean, how come everytime there is an expo there are leaks with somebody getting fired subsequently? Come on, those webmasters can’t be too dumb to realize that if they are not careful, they’d be fired just like the untold number of their colleagues and predecessors. Haven’t they learned already?
