[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1537690"] Reviewers appear to disagree with your assessment. We'll see how users react, but given that your impressions appear to stem from pre-release versions of the software (and to put it mildly, where have you been for the last five years on iTunes? Syncing video was introduced with the original iPhone!), I'm gonna have to test it out for myself and see how I like it. One thing I've noticed over my years with Apple: periodically they do something I don't like, but if I approach it less like an old man and more like a new user, I generally find that sure enough, Apple knew what they were doing all along. Occasionally I just HEAR about something Apple is GOING to do and I think "oooh, don't like the sound of that. I'm comfortable and everything works great, don't screw it up." Again, 9 times out of 10, a little attitude adjustment and I'm having to eat a lot of crow. Man I *hated hated hated* iMovie 7, just as an example. Oh how I ranted and raved. Wrote Steve a note. Went on tirades to friends and forum goers. Finally decided to sit down and tough it out and teach myself this TOTALLY new way of editing video. Within a few weeks (and a couple of Apple updates) I had completely changed my tune. I look at iMovie 6 HD and I can't believe the time I wasted on that. And believe me that wasn't the first time I had decided that Apple had lost their minds. After a while I finally realized that (almost) all of the time, they know what they are doing, and I relaxed and stopped trying to make them stop changing. Life's been good ever since. [/QUOTE]
