I don't think it has a user replaceable battery? Unsure. :lol:

Yeah, I am a Mac fan, but am not impressed with this one, it would be good as an accesory, but you have to have a solid computer to install software, etc, nice lightweight wireless device, but as your main computer, no.

Now if they would just develop a wireless docking station with DVDRW and the missing ports, THEN the would have something.

plus sub $1000 for it. Way overpriced for this. Grab a MacBook Pro instead.

True, I hadn't really looked at the price.

It does have some cool factor with how thin and portable it is, but it's not practical.

Unfortunately Apple's history of thinking way outside the box tends to either hit big, or bomb big.

Newton was ahead of it's time and not started by Jobs. Jobs actually killed it. That was one of those projects started while he was "away".

yeap, that was one of the big flops. although surprisingly, PDAs later really caught on, but Apple never really went that direction again (unless you count the iphone, which isn't technically a pda, but more of a smart phone)

I would have seriously considered a MBA (MacBook Air, not Masters in Business Admin, of course) if it would have had one, just ONE lousy FireWire port.

Couple that with the solid state hard drive option and you have something with which you could edit video at a mind-blowingly fast pace in FCS 2.
