$1799 for a side-kick to a computer i don't already own? no thanks..

You guys have convinced me: I'm buying it! I can't wait to see all the disgusted looks in everybody's face when I take it to Starbucks!

lol. i really wouldn't care if you bought one because that's just more money going towards apple developing the next best thing. i mean they've gotta make mistakes sometimes i guess.

and i will be making a trip to my apple store soon to check it out and laugh at anyone buying it

I'll join you in laughing at them at the Apple store Taylor. It really is nothing more than a glorified iPod Touch.

When the iPhone allows me to run Aperture, Photoshop and FCS (and a few other things), and I get a new pair of magnifying glasses, I might agree with this.

that is exactly what i was saying. and when the SDK comes out, the gap between them will become even smaller.

The MBA isn't even as good as the iPhone. The iPhone as least has EDGE, therefore you're not required to use WiFi as the only means of access. What if you don't have a wireless router? BAM, extra charge. External hard drive? Bam, extra charge. Optical drive? BAM, extra charge. It's ridiculous how poorly planned this computer seems to be.

OK, fine, guys, you win. I can't argue with anybody who thinks iPhone is great. I do too. I'll post my iPhone pics of MBA as soon as I receive it. If it fails, I'll just add it to my collection of old Macs that still work.



This is an iPhone pic of my Color Classic.

I might open a museum, eventually.

I actually never said anything about the iPhone nor did I make a comparison to it. I stated that it was a glorified Touch, not an iPhone, so don't just jump to conclusions about people being blindsided by the awe of the iPhone. If my iPhone was so great and perfect I wouldn't have jailbroken it, which I did.
