Check out the screenshots of where steve is showing the new iLife. There appear to be new icons for Keynote and a chart looking icon.
I looks like we're finally getting a new version of iWork.
Finally, I don't have to use excel.

Totally can see the new icon at the end of the dock in this picture.
On the same note... wonder what the star icon is?

Looks like it will be announced any time soon (currently on Keynote), forgot to say congrats on your eagle eyes.
EDIT:
$79 for iWork
EDIT:
[2:03 PM] Numbers has Intelligent Tables, which allow you to more easily assemble formulas. You can sort and filter columns. Flexible Canvas - allows you to have multiple tables on one pags. Change something in one table, and the other tables, charts, etc. are unchanged. Also features Interactive printing. This is basically a preview mode that is highly interacive. There are customizable templates, and you can import and export to "almost all" Excel documents. Steve is demonstrating it now.

Checkboxes in spreadsheet cells -- it seems so obvious.
I'm looking forward to getting my fingers on Numbers to try it out.

What does "import and export to almost all Excel documents" mean? What features aren't handled?
