New 17″ MBP
Unibody enclosure for the 17″. Sturdier, thinner, lighter.
I’m proud to show you the new 17 inch MacBook Pro — it’s the world’s lightest and thinnest 17 inch notebook.
1920 x 1200 display, 700:1 contrast ratio, 60% greater color gamut.
A $50 anti-glare option will be available for the laptop.
Showing off the i/o — Same as the other Pros. Mini DisplayPort, USB, FireWire 800, MagSafe… and it’s got the glass trackpad. Didn’t think they were going to go back on that one.
Integrated battery display on the side. Includes new glass trackpad, 40% larger.
Inside we have a new generation of C2D CPUs — up to 8GB of RAM… new NVIDIA graphics options, discrete graphics onboard.” “You can upgrade to a 256GB SDD.
Up to 8 hours of work time, 1000 recharges.
We wanted to deliver our longest lasting battery ever, but we wanted to keep it thin and light It’s obviously not removable... now a video on the tech.
Same pricing — $2799 for the base model, 2.66Ghz/4GB RAM

iTunes
New Pricing
$0.69

Next, iTunes Plus — it’s DRM free, and much higher quality. We’ve worked with all the major companies… starting today, 8 million songs will be DRM free.
By the end of Q1, all 10M songs will be DRM free.
iPhone
The music store is no longer just on WiFi — it’s over 3G as well.
