I'm in the process of ordering a new macbook, and found this little nugget of information that seems to have been left out of the keynote. Scroll to the middle column under "Input". http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html

It says the illuminated keyboard is only available on the 2.4 ghz model. At the same time, when I put one of the 2.0 ghz models in the shopping cart, it says very clearly that it includes a backlit keyboard.

Did I just miss that part of the keynote? And what is up with the contradiction between the store page and the shopping cart?

Yeah a few people have noted it already, I think its an error that Apple made. Thats probably the reason that the Apple store is down right now and being updated again :o
