I wonder what they'll come out with next!
iTablet? Super skinny macbook? I Can't wait till tomorrows keynote.

Oh they updated the apple website with a new flyer that states 'there's something in the air'.

Apple

The [eventual] downside of Apple is that its pretty much a one-man show.

When Steve is gone, it won't be the same anymore.

So it's basically an Apple sub notebook. At first glance, I'm kind of wary because of the lack of optical drive... but watching the little demo video, I'm really interested in its wireless capability. If you have another computer you probably won't even need that extra drive (I'll bet will cost an arm and a leg). It looks like this will be focused at people who need a companion notebook to their desktop at home, and not an all in one notebook.

Kind of an interesting idea, I guess we'll see how it plays.

I was just kind of hoping that this Macbook Air thing would lower the price of the Pro... but I don't think that's gonna happen.
