Along with the new MacBook Air family, Apple has updated its signature consumer-media suite to iLife ’11. As you may know, the iLife ’11 suite continues with the three core media-creation progams, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, with each getting workflow tweaks that will hopefully make your life smoother. Additional tweaks are also found in new versions of iWeb and iDVD.

iLife ’11 will ship with all new Macs, and runs $49 for those who want to upgrade.
