US pricing starts at $199 (£100) for the 8GB unit, rising to $299 (£150) for the 16GB models, based on a new contract with AT&T.

Also announced during the keynote was a long-overdue revamp of Apple’s .Mac hosting package, to be renamed Mobile Me.

Users will receive 20GB of storage, double what they received as part of the .Mac package, while data such as photo galleries, address books, calendars and push email will be accessible from and synched across Macs, iPhones and iPod Touch units, as well as Windows PCs. Previously data could only be synched with Macs.

Mobile Me will cost £59 per year for a single user, including VAT. Existing .Mac subscribers will be moved to the Mobile Me service over the next two months.
