Apple Keyboard Revision [with Picture]

One reader noted that a new Apple Store banner contains a side view of a revised Apple keyboard -- with a larger base, and no USB ports on the sides (as on current keyboards).

Additional reports indicate that in the new Keyboard design, the USB ports have been moved to the back, positioned on either side of the keyboard cord.

Minor mouse revisions are expected as well.

Previous rumors, which are felt to be accurate, indicate that the revisions will feature only minor updates. (no bluetooth, only a one button mouse).

Update: Photograph of the new keyboard can be found here: Keyboard Photo. Image provided by Andy Raffensperger.
