That's what it looks like to me, but...

(a) They probably would have announced it alongside the G5's announcement
and
(b) The keyboards I saw at Creative Pro today and yesterday were not wireless...

Also, (from here):
"two USB 1.1 ports (on keyboard)"

So I can't say for sure.

Breaking news! The display is also wireless not to mention the power cord! Standard on EVERY Mac!

Heh. +1 to SWG for sarcastic humor that made me laugh on a crappy day.

After managing an agency to create a few commercials for my company, let me clue you into a quick marketing insight: cords look like crap in ads. They "ruin the lines" of your product and can have a negative impact on the consumer when they're examining the product. Take a close look at any mail order catalog next time--you'll notice there aren't any cords in there either.

So no, Apple isn't introducing a wireless keyboard and mouse. Just following a marketing mandate.
