MacBook Air to Update This Week?

Macworld.com.au claims that Apple's MacBook Air could see updates as early as this week. They cite a "well-placed source" who identifies the new product number as MC516LL/A K87 BETTER BTR-USA. This source was previously able to pinpoint the recent MacBook Pro updates a week prior to their release.
It seems it's not entirely certain that the product number necessarily represents a new MacBook Air. Macworld Australia speculates it could also represent a new Apple LCD. Either way, several thousand of these items are presently on their way to Australia which indicates a major product launch.
According to our Buyer's Guide, a revised MacBook Air is overdue for release. It was last updated in June 2009 and was not updated alongside the MacBooks and MacBook Pros last month.

This product has really got a battle on it's hands but I think it's important that Apple seek to keep it up to spec.

Hopefully this will be a major update and perhaps a slight repositioning on price.

They will probably remove the trackpad button too, it's the only Apple laptop still to ship with a physical button below the trackpad.

The MacBook Air update is WAY overdue. I'm stoked to see what Apple is gonna bring to the table this time.

Sorry to disappoint, but you'll get another C2D and 4 GB of RAM, and probably a 160 GB SSD, and glass trackpad.

I think 4GB of RAM, updated graphics and an internal storage boost would go a long way.
