The AppleBlog and MacRumors, as well as other sites, report that a new MacBook Air should be released tomorrow. The very trustworthy source, that accurately placed the release of the last MacBook Pro, says that this release could either be a new Air or a new Cinema display; according to the Mac Rumors buying guide, both are way past due.

AppleBlog states:

The MacBook Air was last updated in June of last year, and the biggest change wasn’t specs, but price. The low-end MBA saw its CPU increased from 1.6 to 1.86GHz, but it’s price decrease from $1,799 to $1,499. The high-end model with a 128GB SSD went from 1.86 to 2.13GHz, but saw a price drop of $700 to $1,799. Another price drop seems unlikely, as that would overlap with the 13? MacBook Pro. Far more likely, Apple will maintain the price of the MacBook Air and update specifications, starting with the CPU.

Besides that, a glass trackpad sans button would update the MacBook Air to match the MacBook Pros. Also, a Mini DisplayPort with audio out like the MacBook Pros seems a likely upgrade.

Tomorrow will tell.
