As of appx 5PM Eastern it's now available at for download at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iphoto504update.html.

Apple also mentioned the new models having a scrolling TrackPad and the Sudden Motion Sensor that first appeared on the Powerbooks. Also the iBook Graphics page also shows they've revised the graphics chip - it's now a ATI Radeon 9550 with 32MB of DDR VRAM. (The desktop/PC 9550 is based on the R3xx series so I suspected the 9550 mobility has core image/core video support in Tiger but wrote a contact at ATI to verify it does.)

Apple's Hotnews page also notes they "enhanced" the Mac Mini - 512MB memory is now standard on all Mini models and Airport/Bluetooth is now standard on the 1.42GHz models. $499 (1.25GHz w/Combo drive) to $699 (1.42GHz w/Superdrive). I didn't see any other changes (graphics chip still Radeon 9200/32MB) on the Mini specs page.
