The Macbook and Macbook Pro have both been recently updated. The MBP was last week.
Patience.
I do agree that it was a disappointing keynote but I wasn't expecting new hardware. I was disappointed by the lack of compelling 'top secret' features of Leopard.
I'm right there with you on that. iMacs could possibly come in September... but I think there at least oughtta be a slight bump on the current ones soon.

Maybe steve wanted to focus on leopard for the keynote, and we see a hardware update tomorrow?
Nevertheless i am dissappointed, am waiting for an update before I buy and was gutted not to see a bump to the mac pro
This is true. I don't think it's ever been done. How's this for a thought: tomorrow (Tuesday-typical Apple hardware release date) an announcement is put over the PA at the peak of the day's traffic: "Attention WWDC '07 attendees. Your presence is requested in one hour at the keynote hall for a special half-hour event." How would that be for a "One more thing"? There they could release new Cinema displays, announce the death of the Mini, and possibly introduce the iMac Pro. Or something completely new.
The OS (finally) goes full 64bit,yet they will only have one version for 32/64Bit Intel and PPC machines...who cares?
Exactly, who cares. Hardly anybody has enough Ram to take advantage of it anyway.

EA have still been making Mac games but you're right we still have crappy GMA chips to contend with so this news means very little. Also, how long is it going to take before we get an array of good titles? OK Need For Speed carbon is great but what about all the old ones I can't play. Also, are these games going to ship on the same disc or will they be over-priced?
It's clear from the fact they demo'd Harry Potter. What serious gamer wants to play Harry Potter? Oh that's right, Macs aren't for serious gamers apparently. In other words, nothing's changed.
