iPhoto for iOS also requires the 5.1 update, jailbreakers beware.

Philip--Do you know if Photo Beaming allows sending photos to other iOS devices not owned by the same person? For example, if I take a picture of my kid, can I beam the photo to my wife? If so, would it require her to have iPhoto as well? The description in the app store of this feature is somewhat lacking in detail.

Gee, thanks Apple. Let's abandon those users who paid $700 to you just a couple years ago.

Here's a hint: "You don't need a camera, to edit a photo. Somehow you can edit a photo on the Mac Mini, and it doesn't have a camera either".

It could be that the original iPad doesn't have the power to run iPhoto! I think you'll find iMovie is only available on the iPad 2...

Incorrect. iMovie works just fine on the iPod Touch 4, with its A4 CPU, same as the iPad CPU. Personally, the iPod Touch screen is far too small for doing any photo editing. No one forced the original poster to spend $700 for an iPad. He chose to pay a premium for a 1st generation device when the iPad 3 was the device to wait for.

So it can run on the iPhone 4, which has less power, and not on the iPad 1 or iPod touch 4th gen, which are more powerful. Right.

It is strange that it won't run on an iPod Touch 4. The iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4 all use the same A4 CPU. The iPad and iPod Touch 4 are not more powerful than an iPhone 4. However, the iPhone 4 does have more memory than the iPod Touch 4 and iPad, so that could be the reason.

Are they going to call Photo Beaming "Squirting" like Microsoft did with the Zune? Probably the worst name for a feature.

Does anyone know if IOS iPhoto will let you rate (star) your photos? All I want to do is sit on the couch with my iPad, flick through my photo library and rate the good ones.

The new iPhoto app for iOS uses a different map than the Maps app. It looks to be based on Open Street Map data and includes some topographic shading.

(I'm guessing OSM because the streets in my neighborhood are shown. I mapped them for OSM. Those streets are missing from Google, Bing, etc.)

Can't get iPhoto on iPod Touch even though iPod Touch has a camera and runs iOS, AND you can get every other damn Apple App on iPod Touch....but not iPhoto. WTF? The whole company is going downhill since Steve left/passed away. Half the stuff they do doesn't even make sense anymore!!!

Also, they say you can redownload movies now, but where? Where is that option? I looked in "purchased" and it's not there. I updated iTunes and iOS, but still no option for redownloading movies. Seriously ticked off today. I remember when it was fun being an Apple customer. Now it's frustrating and infuriating.

Agreed.

Does it only work over Wi-Fi? Only over Wi-Fi when both devices are logged into the same Wi-Fi network? Does it require an AP or can it set up an ad-hoc network? Can it work over 3G? Etc. Odd that its a feature of iPhoto and not iOS itself. Does it require iPhoto to be in the forground on both devices when the beaming is started? Do they have to stay in the foreground during the transfer?

Won’t install on an iPad (1st generation), beacause it doesn’t have a camera! Is this Apple’s way of making us buy new devices? I only want to edit photos on my iPad, not take them. Likewise, the iWork program updates won’t install either. This means that there will never be any more updates for owners of the first iPad, only one year after Apple sold it. NOT ACCEPTABLE, APPLE!!

The most interesting thing for many, is the possibility to share the new iPhoto Journals via iCloud. This means that Gallery is coming back, one of the two big things that disappeared with the switch from MobileMe to iCloud.
Right now it's only available on the iOS iPhoto app, but I would be surprised if it doesn't also come in an update of the regular iPhoto before MobileMe closes down for good this summer. Hopefully an update that doesn't require Lion, due to the problem many have with older applications that don't run under Lion.

It like has nothing to do with the lack of cameras. If anything it has to do with the amount of memory available. The original iPad only had 256MB of memory to work with. More recent chips like the A5 have 512MB and the A5X is said to have 1GB.

Honestly, this is nothing new. Apple has a tradition now of coupling cool new hardware with cool new software that demonstrates why you need the cool new hardware. To be honest, I'm surprised iPhoto has any backwards compatibility at all. So, let's do our best to try not to be surprised the next time this happens... because it will. That's Apple's business model.

Does it work with RAW images? If so, which cameras does it support?

[ericole]

I want to know how using iPhoto on the iPad is supposed to work in conjunction with iPhoto on your Mac - which, no matter what Apple says - is still going to be the digital hub and master for those. These pictures and videos today simply take up way too much room to be kept only on the iPad.
