A few quick comments are in order, post-Macworld keynote.
The new Macbook Air represents what Apple is best at - cramming a decent (but not earth-shattering) amount of technology into a very desirable package. Looks very interesting for folks who write and browse on the road. It's not a computer I envision many using for editing, given the lack of firewire ports, modest CPU capabilities and lack of a card slot. But that's what this little gem's about, now, is it?
Apple TV gets a lot more interesting with HD capabilities, topping out with 720p images at 24p. The $229 price makes it easier justify as an add-on gadget. Could make for a compelling way to rent HD movies, if they can get the quality high enough. Not something I'm running out to purchase, but I'll be keeping my eye on it for the Bittner HD Home Theater.
I have an iPhone, so I'm looking forward to playing with the new mapping functions.
Oh, one more thing...if you've never watched a Steve Jobs keynote, do yourself a favor and watch the video from Apple. Steve is a really good presenter, and his supporting graphics are always clear and uncluttered. (There's a lot more about Steve's presentation skills at Presentation Zen, my favorite web site for presenters. Tons of good content there.)

Nice touch on Jobs, showcasing the size of the MacBook Air by showing it fitting into the interoffice envelope. That is one sweet machine!
