Apple's new iLife package will not be the first group of products to be clustered together and sold for a low price, one previously reliable source claims.
According to our tipster, Apple plans to squash together Safari, Mail and iChat into a package to be sold for $29.95 USD. No additional details are available, except that Apple is considering offering buyers a minor discount towards the purchase of .Mac.
The package, in traditional Apple fashion, will be bundled free with new Mac purchases.
Although no details were mentioned regarding the date of the release, it is assumed that Apple will complete the free beta testing phase of Safari before announcing the package deal.
The name of the package was not known at time of publication, but don't be surprised to see the now-overdone "I" naming scheme to make yet another appearance.
i don't know about you, but this seems kind of silly. i could see them charging 10 bucks for iChat *maybe*, but to me, mail.app and safari are very simple internet apps, and don't offer anything special over anything else you can get, for free, from other places. i would pay if they do release it, as i like mai.app's simplicity.
i just feel like we're starting to be nickel and dime'd to death here. (of course this is just a weak rumor... just saying..)
