Apple upgraded today all the previous iPod models and introduced a new iPod model, iPod Touch - an iPhone-like iPod (but without the phone features). All the other models have have a full metal design and are much smaller but even more powerful. iPod classic (the previous "big" iPod) features a big space upgrade: 80 GB or 160 GB and iPod nano now supports video.
Also, iPhone 4 GB model was discontinued and the 8 GB model suffered a huge price reduction: the new price is $399 instead of $599.

Apple quitely upgraded Mac Mini today. These new models come with a processor upgrade (1.83 GHz for the entry model and 2.0 GHz for the "better" model). Also, 1 GB of RAM is now standard, the hard drive has now a bigger capacity (80 GB or 120 GB), a GMA 950 is included. The upgraded iLife (version '08) comes bundled with this new model.
The price remains the same: $599 for the first model and $799 for the second one.

Apple released today new versions of iLife and iWork. These programs now come with new features and a much simplified UI.
iLife has a dramatically improved GUI in all its programs and iWork adds a new spreadsheet application (like Microsoft Excel), called Numbers.
Also, the .Mac service was updated to add a better integration to iLife '08 and "extend" it. More storage space and the Web Gallery feature are just a few of those improvements.

New ultra-thin iMacs were released today. These new models are faster, brighter and come only in 20-inch and 24-inch models. 17-inch model was dropped.
The biggest update was the processor: now 2.0 or 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo, or 2.8 GHz Core 2 Extreme processor (quad-core!!).
