Zzzzzz...
Nothing I'm even remotely interested in.
Guess I'm waiting a few more months to buy something.
The Air is cool, but a complete luxury/niche product. You're really paying the price for that enclosure. Both in price and functionality. Not interested.

I'll be retiring my old and extremely faithful iBook G4. I use it daily at home (in the evenings in my chair), and I use it when i travel. The MBA will fit all my wants and needs in a portable/travel laptop, so I'm thrilled.

Too bad you can't swap out the battery on a long flight, since it's integrated.

Keynote....eh?!? Nothing really floating my boat or making me go "Gotta Have it!" The Time Capsula is kind a cool. The Macbook Air is niffty but I'm not in that market.
I was hoping for
AppleTV with DVR ability
DRM free iTunes Music store
Apple HomeServer (Control TV. Lights, AppleTV, Music)
|
"This is fun, right?"

Or easily replace it when your original battery goes to s*** after 2 years.

Not to mention time capsule is what ever Airport extreme owner with a hard drive plugged into it is anyway as that is what leopard should have given us.

I'm hoping the delay in Time Capsule's shipping is so that they can get 10.5.2 out with Airport Disk Time Machine syncing.
It'll suck if the money spent on a 500gb drive and an Airport Extreme so that I could get wireless Time Machine syncing is wasted and I'll have to buy a Time Capsule and sell off my Airport Extreme.

I feel the same exact way. I bought the hard drive and Airport and was so excited about wireless time machine with my macbook. Then I was so underwhelmed when I got leopard and the feature was "missing." I'll be real ticked if I spent all that money only to have to keep plugging and unplugging my hard drive (which is a pain in the ass, and I really only back up about every other day or so...)
