Apple MWTokyo Gear

Steve Jobs took the stage tonight in Japan and introduced an updated iPod (now at 10 gigs + $100), a lucious new 23" flat panel display, and OS X support for Bluetooth (short-range wireless). Nothing to sneeze at, but fairly mild as Mac World keynotes go. I personally don't see much in the use of Bluetooth and would just prefer everything to be 802.11x (AirPort), but maybe I just don't get it. What good is a range of 30 feet gonna do you that IrDA (infared) didn't already do? I admit I am clueless about the application for this. Is it just speed?
Oh, and they jacked up the price of iMac by $100 to compensate for rising costs of RAM and LCDs. bummer. People will still buy it, though.
