Steve Jobs of Apple Inc. is delivering his keynote right now, and as usual MacObserver.com is liveblogging the speech. So far there are new features added to the iPhone, a new Apple TV enhancement that doesn't require a computer, and as expected, video rentals from the iTunes store.
UPDATE: Yes, Jobs introduced the rumored thin-and-light laptop, and it is indeed called the MacBook Air. It's got a 13" screen, a multitouch trackpad, a flip-down door to protect the ports, built-in 802.11n wireless, and a 1.8" drive, which is the the same drive that's in some iPods. It sounds like the MacBook Air has a traditional hard drive as well as a solid state drive, for quick startup and maybe playing CDs and DVDs without going through the whole hard drive startup process.
The price: the MacBook Air starts at $1,799. Ouch! Yeah, it sounds like a great machine, but if you want more than the minimum package, it'll run $2K or more.
