The keynote was plenty full. No need on spending time on the MBPs. The movie rental was a biggy, the iPhone & touch software update were pretty major. After the iPhone, most other stuff is hohum, isn't it?

Only somewhat in a new direction. Many people have been hoping for a really light and small laptop for a while. Apple had to sacrifice some things to get it that size and weight. Also, let's face it, wireless is the direction everting is moving.
