This mornings Apple product updates regarding the iMac, the MacBook, the Mac Mini, the new Magic Mouse, and Apple Remote were all fantastic. But there were a few products that were updated that have been not so publicized.
Alongside the aforementioned updates, Apple also updated:
The new AirPort Extreme Base Station received antenna upgrades to increase WiFi performance by 50% and range by 25%. The Base Station is also now officially certified to the 802.11n specification, whereas before it was still under draft-n.
The new Time Capsule received antenna upgrades to increase WiFi performance by 50% and range by 25%. The device is also now officially certified to the 802.11n specification, whereas before it was still under draft-n.

The keyboard, aesthetically the same, now only requires two AA batteries, where the previous model required three. Whether that is good or bad in terms of battery life is yet to seen. At least you have an extra battery now for the new Magic Mouse.
The VESA Kit was originally designed for the 24-inch iMac and the 24-inch Apple LCD Cinema Display. The kit now supports the new 27-inch iMac released today.
