Apple down $9

Will the AirBook will fly? I think Apple just laid another Cube, IMHO.

[quote Chupa Chupa][quote macphanatic]I can see a lot of business men who travel frequently wanting one. Road warriors are looking to downsize and reduce weight where ever possible. Sync it with a desktop in the office. Have a lightweight, functional laptop for traveling. Capable for email, office docs, presentations, etc. Only hurdle is watching movies, unless you rent or convert them. I would have like to have seen a wireless dock for usb, a/v, ethernet.
No ethernet is also a big hurdle. 1) Some cos. prohibit logging in to the co server via public WiFi and even if WiFi is allowed 2) a lot of hotels have ethernet broadband but no WiFi.
I understand that onboard ethernet had to be sacrificed but they could have make a dongle available or Express card slot.
you can buy a USB to ethernet dongle.

USB to Ethernet adapter can be added to your order. It's not included. I stand corrected.

But with only one USB port... now you have to haul a hub around, a USB to ethernet dongle, an external optical drive...

The 24 hr movie rental limit is odd... (yeah, I know... 30 days to Start Watching)
Why not more like a couple of days or so, so you could digest it and watch it again.
Movies like The Fountain will be brutal.
Also, really cuts down on, say, kids watching something and then telling 'rents, "you gotta see this"... "OK, how 'bout Thursday..."
24 seems really random and short.

Randy has never been a singer (for obvious reasons) but he's always been a songwirter with a point of view. His live concerts consisted of a piano, a piano bench and Randy. The big "special effect" was one follow spot with a red gel slowly creeping up the backdrop during "Big River". He's always been about the music. And as far as I know, he actually does don underwear when going to the market!

It's good to see the usual predictions of how the new Apple whiz bang 'will never sell' and how 'leaving out feature "X" is a monumental mistake.'
Otherwise I'd be worried that Apple had a flop on their hands. ;-)
Now to wait for the stock price to drop.
