The MacBook air the smallest lightest, most featureless laptop in Apple's lineup right now.
The good is it has a full sized keyboard, the battery life is good, and has a new nifty multitouch touchpad.
It is more expensive than the Macbook, does not come with a DVD drive ($99 extra) or any external ports save the one mag-power connector.
If your looking for a second computer or a desktop replacement, this is not it. If you want the smallest lightest mac to go with you on the road while your away from your 'other' mac than this might be your ticket!
If you wanted an Ipod touch, but it didn't do enough, then wait no more. Apple added Mail, Maps, Weather and Notes from the iphone to the Ipod touch. If you already have an Ipod touch, Apple is charging $19.99 for you to update it.
Web clips is neat feature, you can save a piece of a webpage to an icon on the home screen so that you can see them even when you don't have a wifi signal.
The Iphone has some modest updates. They updated the maps with a button to zoom in on your location automatically.
You can also add web pages to the home screen so you can get it to your favorite websites even faster.
Now you can send a text message to more than one person.
You can now watch movies that you rented on Itunes on your iphone, you have to tell Itunes which movies you want to watch on your phone though.
Apple has a list of nifty web applicitions designed just for the iphone or touch at:
Apple is trying to make .mac accounts worth having and they are almost there.
Some of the new features are "Back to my Mac" which will let you remotely control your mac on the road from another mac.
It only works with leopard, and it will not work with some routers (it didn't work with mine)
The idisk alone is enough reason to get a .mac account. If you work on more than one mac, all you have to do is keep the files your a working on in your idisk and it will automatically synch your updates between the two computers behind the scenes.
Iweb is so easy to use if you have a .mac account that if you want a website, the easiest way by far is to just throw one up in Iweb.
I had big trouble getting back to my mac to work, but I found logmein. This remote control software is free, easy to use and works through any firewall. Another feature is that it will work on older mac OS's and PC's as well.
Mozy is a free backup program (for 2 gigs) and for $5 a month it gives you unlimited backup space!
If you have a normal high speed internet, they usually throttle you upload speed. So it will take around 1 day per gigabyte of backup. Also when I tried to just backup my 80 gig hard drive to the internet, it just locked up and refused to run. One more problem it that the more files you have, the slower the restore pages will come up.
BUT one thing I like a lot about mozy is that is automatically keeps a backup of past versions of your file (just like time machine) when it backs up.
