Apple's line of notebooks get a boost

Today was supposed to be the day that Apple unveiled its SDK package for the iPhone. It was rumored that this release was going to be delayed a few weeks. 
Instead, they gave us something new with their notebooks. This isn't really a surprise to most people because Apple is known to update their notebooks and desktops all the time, and outfit them with the latest technology. 
It was announced today that the Macbook was given a faster processor (up to 2.4 ghz), a bigger hard drive (up to 250 GB), and is now built in with an 802.11 N wireless card, which allows for speeds that are 5x as fast. 
The Macbook pro was also given a faster processor (up to 2.6 ghz) as well as a bigger hard drive. It was also given an 802.11 N card and even works on the faster Bluetooth 2.1. However, the biggest update here was that the Macbook Pro's trackpad was redesigned, like that of the Macbook Air. It works on with the multi-touch sensors that make the iPhone so cool. This is a big update for their notebooks, and maybe even some day this technology can be seen for their entire line of computers.
