Apple confirms there is something in the Air

A mostly-boring keynote from Steve Jobs got a late lift when he unveiled the ultra-thin and great-looking MacBook Air. This is tapered like the old Sony Vaio X505 but ends up being even thinner. It's also faster and much heavier, but has a bigger screen and a much better price. The question is, did Wired take the edge off the surprise value?

Otherwise it was mostly me-too stuff, like wireless backup, and movie rentals via a price-cut Apple TV.

As usual, Ryan Bock blogged it live at Engadget, but making the terrible mistake of changing to reverse order. This makes it much harder to read. Jemima Kiss also blogged it from the UK on the Guardian's PDA blog, but without the pictures.
