    Apple did it the right way. Light, full size keyboard, decent size display, lots of power and reasonable storage. Looks good to me. The Air fits right in the Road Warrior catagory. Plus you could "shudder" install XP if you need to run an app like MS Project. They need to address the battery issue, but I think that one of the many third party vendors will probably step up to the plate on that one. (Newer Technology?) An excellent first version release for this product. I think that Apple will do well with this one. As an IT pro I can tell you that a lot of my peers sat up and took notice on this one. Even the jaded "MS" guys are trying to come up with negatives.

    APPLE NEEDS TO BE THE FIRST TO JUMP INTO " CELL PHONE IN A WRIST WATCH" TECHNOLOGY.
    tHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE NEAR FUITURE. KOREA AND JAPAN ALREADY HAVE IT

    I can't imagine how big a status symbol it will be among college students, and young female professionals.

    Finding applications is definately the most important thing for the success of computers. Besides the fact that I can't afford it, I am waiting for information that the electronics business is child labour free.
