Hookay; well, one thing a lot you will be happy about is that many of the rumors we were reading in the last week or so are true.
iWork does exist; it will replace AppleWorks (hooray!) and was developed by the same team that created Keynote. It will include Keynote 2, and a word processor called Pages. Price will be $79.
Pages sports the same swish-but-simple interface we’ve seen in Keynote, includes a bunch of elegant templates for all sorts of documents, reflow-text-around-objects, and reflow-text-as-columns.
iLife 2005 brings new versions of almost everything, including a better iPhoto that integrates with Mail, allowing you to export pictures that arrive in your inbox straight into an iPhoto album. There’s new themes in iDVD, and eight-track vocal recording in GarageBand (wow, I am *so* going to enjoy playing around with that). As before, iLife is free with new Macs or can be purchased for $79.
Mac mini
What’s at the back of a Mac mini
The headless Mac so many people were hoping for appears as the Mac mini. Features include: CD-RW/DVD-ROM optical drive, FireWire port, DVI, VGA ports, headphone jack, 1.25GHz+40GB+G4 model priced $499, or a 1.42GHz+80GB+G4 model at $599.
iPod shuffle
Do not eat iPod shuffle
The new Flash iPod is officially called iPod Shuffle. It will connect to PCs and Macs. I don’t need to tell you everything now - I’ll let Apple do that.
All I can say is: wow
Ipod Shuffle Warling
In footnote 2 at: http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/ At the bottom in footnote 2: Do not eat iPod shuffle. LOL What lawyer made them put that in?
Ipod Shuffle Warling
I think you underestimate Apple's sense of humor.
Ipod Shuffle Warling
The Ipod Shuffle page shows the Shuffle next to some packs of gum. That's why the footnote says not to eat the Ipod Shuffle.

iWork
iWork \= AppleWorks
"iWork does exist; it will replace AppleWorks (hooray!)" I don't think that's the case: I don't see a spreadsheet module in there, or raster or vector image creation/manipulation. This is basically Apple's version of Word and PowerPoint: there's no Excel, Photoshop or Illustrator in there. AppleWorks is not obsoleted.
