Couple of discoveries about the new stuffs:
- Mini DisplayPort now supports audio too.
- There is an Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter coming.
- The 320M graphics chip in the 13" was built specifically for Apple.
- They've lowered the price of their 4GB RAM sticks by $100 per stick.
Also, in regards to the 13" still retaining the Core 2 Duo... here's what Steve had to say:

We chose killer graphics plus 10 hour battery life over a very small CPU speed increase. Users will see far more performance boost from the speedy graphics.

Even though they didn't bump it to the I3, they still did pretty good. Here's the break down of the changes:
Processor: 2.26GHz -> 2.4GHz
RAM: 2GB -> 4GB
HD: 160GB -> 250GB
Graphics: 940M -> 320M
Battery: 7 Hrs -> 10 Hrs
Price: $1299 -> $1249
So... Faster processor, double the RAM, bigger hard drive, much better graphics, 3 more hours of battery... $50 less.
