A display in the lobby of San Francisco's Moscone Center Tuesday hints at a key announcement in Apple CEO Steve Jobs' Macworld speech -- the new ultrathin MacBook Air laptop. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks 
Unlike current MacBooks, shown in this slide, Jobs says the MacBook Air has a 13.3-inch, LED-backlit display and the same built-in iSight camera as other Apple notebooks. It has what Jobs says is a full-size illuminated keyboard. The trackpad is "generous," Jobs says, and the computer has multitouch gesture support that expands upon the support already present in MacBooks. The MacBook Air has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The 1.6GHz version starts at AU$2,499, with the 1.8GHz machine at AU$4,338. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks 
Apple is touting its new MacBook Air ultraportable as "the world's thinnest notebook." The machine will start shipping in February. Credit: Daniel Terdiman/CNET News.com 
Jobs touts the MacBook Air's small size. It's between 4 mm and 19.3 mm inch thick and weighs 1.36 kilograms. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks 
Jobs noted that the MacBook Air is so slim it will fit in an manila envelope. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks 
Jobs showed off the MacBook Air's circuit board, explaining that an entire Mac was on a board about as long as a pencil. Credit: Daniel Terdiman/CNET News.com 
Apple is adding five applications to the iPod Touch, including Mail, Maps, Stocks, Notes, and Weather, which make the iPod Touch much more like the iPhone. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks 
The iPhone is also getting a boost. Some new features include maps that can approximate your location; the ability to customise the home screen and send text messages to multiple people; and the option to view lyrics for songs you're listening to. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks 
Apple TV was designed to be an accessory, Jobs said, but that's not what people wanted. They wanted "movies, movies, movies...So we're back, with Apple TV Take 2." Credit: Daniel Terdiman/CNET News.com 
The Apple TV screen will now feature movie rental options, but this is only in the US. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks 
Apple's cutting the US price of the Apple TV to $229. There is no price drop scheduled for Australia. The free software upgrade and the new model will ship in the coming weeks. Credit: Corinne Schulze/CNET Networks
