The entire lineup saw price cuts ($300 on average, $700 for the MacBook Air SSD) except for the low-end MacBook which is still available and still priced at $999. In addition to the price cuts all of the hardware in the lineup was upgraded including better displays, Apple's new high-end battery tech and faster processors. So, yes, the lineup is better and more affordable across the board.
Is there anything else that you wanted to talk about?

I heard there is supposed to be copy and paste on it and have even seen Apple produced graphics indicate it has copy and paste, but none of the releases or news officially from Apple I have seen have anything about copy and paste.http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/

Bottom left corner.
That page doesn't begin to cover everything, though.
I'd hit these links to get a better idea of what's coming...

Everything I get from tech support says I have to reconfigure my router to a different encryption method to get my Touch to use it. That's SO not worth my time -- why can't they make something that will just work with what people already have??!Because WEP is a completely flawed and broken security protocol. It would be like installing support for faulty seatbelt mechanisms in cars after you knew they were faulty.
As usual, iPod touch owners are going to get dinged $9.95 for the iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade. Hey Apple -- maybe switch these guys over to subscription accounting as well?Engadget, that is stupid. I'd just sell my iPod Touch and get a Zune, Archos, Creative, or some other similar gadget before I'd pay a subscription for an media player...
