    Very possible since there tablet is coming then, that they will try to make the Air look more attractive, lower price, better features further separating it from the tablet.

    It is due for a refresh, but that doesn't mean it will get one... it might not even be continued.

    There is no concrete information that Apple will be releasing a Tablet next year. People need to stop talking about gossip like it's gospel!

    Current specs are highest for the tech (highest SL9xxx cpu / 2gb ddr3 / 9400m / SSD) so the only real updates are arrandale (=no usb 3.0 methinks as intel not adding till 2011 I read) / or usb 3.0 / ion2 (culv+pimped up 9400) I doubt there'll be any design changes, and all of these changes (except possible change to 2 ddr3 slots instead of 1 or possibly looking into new battery tech) would likely take months before seen.
