Well, Steve is still up there, but the big news (as yet unreflected on the Apple website) is the announcement of a new Intel based iMac. It will apparently come in the same sizes and prices as previous G5 iMacs, but will use Intel’s new CoreDuo processor that was plugged by Intel so heavily at CES last week.

There is also some nice improvements to their existing iLife suite, including the addition of the (somewhat predictably name) iWeb: a web authoring suite that includes the ability to create and publish rich media websites using premade Apple templates. Notable for podcasters, GarageBand will also include a Podcast Suite: a set of features designed to make the creation of podcasts simple and easy.

Addendum: Two new laptop models will be available in February: the MacBook Pro, also with the Core Duo Processor, $1999 and $2499.  It will include the iSight camera, Front Row, all that kind of stuff.  Neat!
