MacBook Air, Mac Pro updates available
Who says this Tuesday arrived without updates? MacBook Air users can launch Software Update this morning and find SMC Update 1.0, which adjusts the use of the (very tiny) internal fan. If you've been having fan issues with your Air, let us know if this patch knocks them out.
As usual, we ask that you let us know if you have any trouble after applying these updates.

I just got an update about the AirPort :
The AirPort Base Station Update 2008-001 includes general fixes and compatibility updates for the following applications:
- AirPort Utility
- AirPort Disk Utility
- AirPort Base Station Agent
I ran the SMC update on my Air and it told me I was already at the most recent version. However, since running the update the fans on my Air have not started up and now my Air is getting hot ter even though it is mostly idle.
CPU temp is at 55c and the power supply is at 54c which is the highest its ever been, the wrist rest and casing are also hot to the touch which it has never done before.
I'm starting to get a little worried this new update is going to fry my Air!
No update for me either in Software Update. According to System Profiler my MBA is at SMC 1.23f9

I wonder if this fixes the full-blast-fans after shutdown and the reboot after sleep issue on the Mac Pro.

I'll have to wait until I'm home from work, but anyone else who gets this on their machine please chime in if you notice any differences...

But in my mba says that i already have the 1.0 smc update.
no change.
my mba is 3 weeks old.
Says "No update available," so I manually downloaded it and then it said it was already installed. =
