Macbook Air...

Hey guys,
I was checking out Apple.com for announcements on the Mac World '08, and found a couple of cool things.

Obviously the biggest new announcement was the Apple Macbook Air. They're paper thin, almost UMPS kind of portable laptop. I like the idea and it looks really interesting, seeing as it uses Wifi in ways nothing has used it before. I don't like the fact that it does not ship with an optical drive, but I do think the idea of wirelessly using another optical drive on a Mac or PC, is a cool idea. But it is not ideal, seeing as you do not always have access to another computer with an optical drive. Although great for travelling with, I feel as though with no optical drive, it would be rather difficult to travel with, even though it is small enough to fit almost anywhere. I see this laptop being used by buisness men who need to work or students who need a laptop to take notes, but for general use, you will need to buy the attaching optical drive, which will take up the USB port on the laptop. I think apple kind of fell short with this idea, seeing as gaming and video editing are what I like to do, this laptop can do neither without the attachment, and if I purchase the attachment I will not have a USB port to use... So I will probably pass on it. Nice try though Apple.

The next thing that caught my interest was the additions of Maps and notes and many other cool applications for the Ipod Touch, and the addition of customizing your home screen on both the touch and the Iphone, thats pretty cool!
As for the movie rental service comming to Itunes, I guess thats cool, but I don't often purchase anything from Itunes but it would seem to be an interesting addition.

Bottom Line, there really wasn't anything really interesting that came out of Apple this year, but I can see it being exciting for some people.

Thats it for today Tuesday January 15th 2008 c yaa
