But than again I forgot it was a macbook and not an ipod. The pricing isn't as shocking if you think of it as a macbook and not a "tweener" device. I would have been sold if it was under $1000 and the screen swiveled like a tablet pc. This would give you a bigger "itouch-like" device. I hope that is next. Also, the flash prices need to come down. I truly was shocked at the 1799 price tag. But than again I forgot it was a macbook and not an ipod.

Steve is always trying to set new standards. For that movie on the train, he's trying to get you to either buy it on itunes, or bittorrent it.

Not too sure about the new Macbook Air without a built-in drive. It'll only suit certain users. No watching a DVD on the train!

I truly hope that that is a misprint, because there's no way 64 gigs is worth 1300 bucks. Dang: http://gizmodo.com/345101/adding-a-64gb-ssd-to-the-macbook-air-1300-extra-please
