It's not exactly what I wanted, but I think a lot of people will really love the MacBook Air. It's the perfect computer for all those people who miss the old 12" PowerBook, and at a very similar price point.

It has a similar keyboard, a much better screen, and is much thinner and lighter.

I liked the feature that lets you use one of your other computers to read CDs/DVDs instead of having to buy a separate CD/DVD drive exclusively for the Air.

This was an interesting keynote in that it was low key compared to last year's but had products that are genuinely useful, just not flashy. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Time Capsule WiFi router/hard drive combination. I think that would work very well for me next time I want to set up a new wireless network, and the price of the 1TB version is only about $100 more than a 1TB external drive. That's pretty aggressive pricing for Apple.

On the rare occasions when I view movies, I like to spread out viewing over a few days. I think they should have had true 30 day movie rentals; that would have been interesting to me. The "keep for 30 days but must view within 24 hours once started" seems expensive and a bad idea overall.

I'm glad I own an iPhone and not an iPod Touch. And that's all I'll say about that $20 iPod Touch update :-(.
