yeah, that’s really gotta be the most useless product ever

who needs HD, but doesn’t need the other fcp features?

well I’ve got all these home movies I’ve shot in HD

you know, really basic stuff I’d love to edit but I just don’t have the time.

maybe iLife ’06 will have iMovie HD

Quicktime HD

you can add it to non video applications

Quicken HD

Microsoft Word HD

Integrated with Dashboard for quick, easy editing of both JPEG and RAW photos. Jobs offers demo of new iPhoto. Impressive editing tools for rotate/zoom.
