iwork 11, iweb 11, Final Cut Studio 4, where are all the software updates?

If you haven't noticed, its been a pretty disappointing past year for Mac software users. ilife came out with a new version updating iphoto, imovie and garage band,  but left iweb and iDVD out in the cold. The updates where not that impressive and people where upset about iweb not being updated. I guess we can understand iDVD, as Apple's direction has been pointing to online media as of yet, but what about iweb?

I mean really? If Apple wants us to use the internet for video and media then why was this not updated. Also seeing that iweb 09 still uses flash instead of tools for working with HTML 5, you think Steve Jobs would have updated this sooner. There are a lot of people now looking for alternatives to building their websites like Rapidweaver or webs.com.  But iweb had a simple way of doing things. It's to bad seeing it get left behind.

The that the new year and the big Mac app store has open, people where expecting iweb to lunch with a new iwork on Jan 6th,  but nope, nothing exciting happen. iwork is still 09, but you would expect something new coming soon since Microsoft just updated their work apps for this year. 

So, will these updates (which are much needed) ever come? A new rumor has pointed to the Ipad 2 lunch. People expect that iwork 11 will work with both mac and ipad, so maybe apple is saving that update for then. And will iweb join this update, who knows?

Let's just hope these programs get updated soon within this year, cause they do not "work" like they should.
