On Tuesday, Steve Jobs took the stage at the Moscone Center in San Francisco to introduce the Time Capsule backup device, new iPhone features, the arrival of movie rentals on iTunes along with an updated Apple TV, and the headliner of Macworld, the MacBook Air. In this slide show, we'll take a closer look at Apple's latest and sleekest laptop.

As usual, there was a lot of excitement and speculation leading up to Steve Jobs' keynote for Macworld 2008, and although he didn't reveal any revolutionary new iPods, the introduction of a new movie rental service from iTunes is sure to please many current owners of the ubiquitous player. Also of note: iPod Touch owners can now add five new apps to the device, and the iPhone offers Maps with location capability.

The Apple iPhone is without doubt the hottest cell phone of the past year. And it's no wonder -- it's a beautiful touchscreen phone with multi-tap technology, Wi-Fi support, a full HTML Safari web browser, and of course, the familiar iPod music and video player we all know and love. But we can't just leave well enough alone, can we? Almost as soon as the iPhone hit the streets, hackers across the globe took to dismantling it and figuring out to unlock it and add third-party applications to it. Apple in turn began updating the firmware, sometimes disabling hacks, and thus the race began to see who would be ahead of whom. If all this is over your head, no worries. In this slideshow, we'll show you some simple things you can do right now to pimp your iPhone, without having to learn UNIX or use a soldering iron.

Innovation, said a certain Mr. Jobs, distinguishes between a leader and a follower. Well, this year has seen its fair share of pioneering technology. From the Apple iPhone to Honda's production hydrogen fuel-cell car to Amazon's Kindle, a number of products distinguish themselves as prototypes of future tech. Here is our roundup of forerunners for technology in 2008.

Apple's iPod Touch puts the multimedia capabilities of the iPhone into a lighter, leaner package. Available in 8GB and 16GB capacities, the iPod Touch has drop-dead looks and a graphic user interface that's ahead of it's time.

As expected, today's Apple event at Moscone Center here in San Francisco was all about music--iPods to be exact, and lots of them. The least exciting of the bunch is the Shuffle, for which there is a simple color refresh, while the most dramatic is the new Nano, which is shorter and squatter than its predecessor and now supports video. On the full-size iPod side, the video version has been rechristened the Classic and comes with up to 160GB of space on board. And, last but not least, there's a phone-less iPhone, dubbed the Touch. Yep, that's right--four new iPods. Now excuse me while I catch my breath.

The Venzero Slickr is a small portable media player that bears a striking resemblance to the Apple iPhone. While it dazzled us with its good looks, the spell soon wore off when we had learn its tedious navigation and fumble through its outdated MP3 player.

We tested the iPhone's camera by taking a variety of shots. See them all in our slide show.

Before the iPhone, there was the Razr, the Segway and the original Mac. You win some, you lose some.
