Apple held a media event today focused on their notebook line, and made quite a few announcements about product updates and a new cinema display. Unfortunately for iPhone fans, there was no iPhone news to speak of at this event.

 The MacBooks get the biggest overhaul with new aluminum enclosures, an LED-backlit screen, a backlit keyboard, and better graphics. The MacBook Pros also get better graphics in the form of a new Nvidia GPU, new enclosures, and an LED-backlit display. Both lines get and the new Mini Display Port and a new glass trackpad that can recognize additional finger gestures and that is a button in itself. These new models will be available in stores tomorrow.

The MacBook Air, my personal favorite, finally gets a larger hard drive and larger SSD option, as well as improved graphics and the Mini Display Port. The new Cinema Display will be a 24" widescreen with the new Mini Display Port, LED backlighting, a built-in iSight camera, and stereo speakers. These products will be available in November.

For all specs and details, check out the Apple Store online here.

Steve Jobs, Phil Schiller, and Tim Cook time time for a little Q&A afterward, answering questions about the possibility of netbooks (the market's too new), touchcreens (doesn't make sense yet), and a few other areas. Looks like we'll have to wait to hear more about the push notification service previously promised and firmware 2.2 for the iPhone...
