[MacDV] iLife Retail Box Delayed

[Thubten Kunga]

http://www.macnn.com/ sources report that Apple may delay the release 
of iLife, its suite of four digital hub applications due to problems 
with GM ("Golden Master") of the iLife CD. The $50 package will not be 
available for sale as anticipated on Saturday, January 25th (and the 
new release date was not yet known);

however, the unreleased individual components, iMovie 3 and iPhoto 2, 
maybe made available via the Internet for download (as previously 
announced). iTunes 3 is already available (released last fall) and iDVD 
3 will only be available as part of the retail package. (Apple would 
not return phone calls to confirm the iLife delay or the availability 
of iPhoto 2 and iMovie 3 downloads).  New Apple Store orders are 
quoting 5-7 days for the estimated shipping date, while one reader 
noted that his order would ship on January 30th.  [We are seeking 
additional confirmation and details.]
