23" LCD Display ... hmm. Drool ... but guess it'll be a couple years or more before it drops under $1,000 ;-).

My nickel says it's the Bluetooth announcement that has the biggest impact here. Finally to get rid of the keyboard/mouse and maybe printer cables. Plus, just when the PC industry is giving Bluetooth up for dead, guess who's leading the charge (once again).

And, Apple only supports OS X 10.1.3 or later. You can guess there will be 3rd party OS 9 support, though.
