range

recently unveiled its all-new iMac range in India. In an effort
to make the system the hub of every digital home, the company
has added quite a few features to the product. All new iMac
models include iMovie2 (an easy-to-use video editing software)
and iTunes 2 (the digital music software that lets users put
an entire music collection on their Mac), burn custom CDs
and seamlessly sync with Apple’s new iPod portable digital
music player. Higher end iMac models are equipped with a SuperDrive
and include iDVD 2, so users can easily create and burn their
own custom DVDs that play in consumer DVD players. Besides
this, every new iMac is designed to run Apple’s new iPhoto
software (available as a free download). iPhoto helps users
easily import images directly from digital cameras, organise
and manage a photo collection (containing thousands of photos),
view cross-dissolved slide shows of their photos, automatic
creation of a Web page of their photos, order professional
quality Kodak prints.
