[tomozj]

So, the Macworld '08 expo is due to start in 25 minutes.. anyone expecting anything specific?

_{Please keep all off topic posts away, as I'll just clean them out.}

I reallyreally hope they present that Iphone laptop thingy, and some updates on the Ipods (maybe Itunes update?)

I'll be watching it tomorrow, or this evening

cant wait.

Heh, we got;

- New Airport Base Stations with built in HDs to use - 500GB and 1TB.
- New stuff for the iPod Touch, such as Mail, Notes, Weather - $20 as an optional.
- New Google Maps features which allows you to track where you are
- Send an SMS to more than one contact at a time (lol, gotta say).
- More iPhone/iPod Touch customization @ home screen.
- Webclips for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
- MacBook Air - extremely thin MacBook!

The Airport stuff is kinda neat, but pricey, and I have to give Apple a "wow" for the MacBook Air, however it's not quite developed enough to be widely used yet, in my opinion.

MacBook Air looks cool. Havent seen the specs on it yet.

The specs are pretty impressive... But, I don't like the fact that there is no optical drive.

Jobs: "Ohh, instead of watching DVDs, you can pay us money and rent movies directly from iTunes!"

Please, lemmie go get a bigger spoon so he can feed us more bullshit.

Not only that, but the limitation of ports, is just killing me.

Other that that, its a pretty huge advancement in technology.

It's just to add to the range, as an on-the-go laptop.

So whichever notebook you need - small for writing on the road, a decent machine for normal activity and more (maybe) a Macbook, and the Macbook Pro for video editing.

That MacBook Air looks tight man! like a man's anus.

[Maddolis]

Hell yeah it does
Keep the posts rollin in!

Ima have to disagree with you there Tomo, Apple's products are very unique, pricey yes, but very special. And my mouth was left wide open for about 5 minuntes when Jobbs brought out that Air. Although I use Microsoft products, I would choose Apple over Microsoft at any time.

Don't get me wrong - I love Apple's work more than you could even think possible.

Personally, I'd buy into the Airport HD thingy if the speeds are fast enough to be able to download movies etc. quickly. And the air is fantastic, however it's not cut out for what we'd consider 'normal use'.

However, I know quite a few people who'd love the Air. Just at £1299, I feel that the Air has more to outperform what it currently is before it goes mainstream.
