Macworld Expo announcements from this morning. It's like Christmas all over again.

The "rumor" sites (you know, the ones getting sued) appear to have had good sources this time. Screenless iPod for $99, screenless Mac Mini for $499 ("somewhat similar in appearance to an Apple AC power adapter"). iWork, a productivity software suite including Keynote 2 and the new word processor Pages, will only cost $79, less than Keynote 1 alone used to cost.

Also: Bare Bones Software announced the release of TextWrangler 2.0, a text editor with mild programming features. And it's free. Features in BBedit but not in TextWrangler.
