Apple Store Is Down; MacBook Air Incoming?

It comes as little surprise, with Apple's "Back to the Mac" event due to begin in a little over an hour's time, but the Apple Store is currently down for "updating".  We're guessing that's to give Apple's website beavers the chance to add a new, shiny MacBook Air or two to the store, but we won't know for sure until the liveblog.

We'll be keeping up with Apple's announcements over at http://live.slashgear.com/ from 10am PST (1pm EST or 6pm London), so join us there for all the news and commentary with our live comments system.

Update: It's official!  Brand new 11.6- and 13.3-inch MacBook Air ultraportables: check out our hands-on and video unboxing!
