Keynote over. Here's the fluff. :)
You can read our whole live coverage here. But basically, we've seen iLife '06, iWork '06 (well, not actually seen that, but announced...) as well as the new iPod remote with FM-tuner built in. And then some...
The all new iMac. It's the same as before, but with a new graphics card - and more importantly a new intel core duo CPU. The dual core intel CPU should (according to Apple) be 2-3 times as fast as the G5 used in the previous iMac generation.
The MacBook Pro. 15.4" models for now only. About 4-5 times as fast as previous PowerBooks. Bit slimmer than the old 17" model, integrated iSight, FrontRow with IR sensor and remote control. Comes as 1.67 GHz model for 1999 USD and as 1.83 GHz model for 2499 USD. You can still get 12/15/17 inch models with PowerPC. But I guess not many of those will be sold now that the first intel machines are available.
Apparently, the new MacBook Pro does only have one FW 400 port. No more FW 800 for pros? On the other hand, it's got an ExpressCard slot which could make up for it. Also: intel has announced intel core duo processors at speeds between 1.67 and 2.16 GHz. Here's to the hope that Apple will add a 2.16 GHz model as soon as the chips are available. :/
