Boo!:
-Internal, non-user replaceable battery
-no bundled superdrive/cd/dvd drive (external, optional)*
-micro-DVI output can only display on (up to) 24-inch monitors
-the only supposedly input will be the single usb port. duh.
-no RJ-45 port. (no ethernet! optional usb adapter, 20-something dollars)

*The latest Apple hoo-ha is the Remote Disc. One has to carry around CD/DVDs and expect another person or place to have a MAC/PC with a CD/DVD drive, stick one's optical media into that drive and wait for it to wirelessly sync with the MacBook Air. Provided that the host machine IS enabled for wireless communication over compatible protocols (wireless-n or bluetooth). The hassle.

and lastly. $1800! and that's the base model, get all available, internal options (1.8GHz processor, 64GB SSD) and that's +$1000 more! For a grand total of $3,098.

complete specs
More from MacWorld:

Not too excited about these ones, i guess Apple just gave in to demand for these, but came up short. I call them freak Ipods. Click on the pics for more info

Fat Ipod?
First off is the fat nano, widened because of the new wide video screen integrated. I guess this is also the first time leaked news was true since pics of this particular ipod surfaced a couple of months ago. Coming in at 4GB and 8GB, I don't think thats much of a turn on with people wanting to watch videos, unless you watch an episode at a time or just have a couple of videos on their Ipod. (4GB, silver: $149; 8GB, silver, black, blue, green, red: $199).


Touch
Next is the new Ipod Touch. It's a freak Iphone. Actually an Iphone without the phone part. That's it. Wifi, 3.5" touch screen, landscape and portrait orientation. Comes in 8 and 16 GB. (8GB $299; 16GB $399)

although the pic isnt real, the rumor is supposedly true. hehe aliw 1 shuffle for me please!

hay nako. sa wakas. anyway, features:

-OSX (widgets, apps, etc.)
-full multi-touch interface
-8GB / 4GB
-2megapixel cam
-videos, music, pictures (basically the newest video ipod)
-POP3 and IMAP
-Auto-Engage WiFi
-Bluetooth EDR and A2DP comes with headset
-Safari (full HTML)
-3.5in screen
-Quad Band
-EDGE
-5 hours of battery life for talk or video, 16 for music mode.

misc
-new ipod-like earphones with answer/drop call button
-surface proximity sensor (just like on the Canon 400D, it senses if your face is near so you dont operate the interface with your cheeks or ear. lol)
-accelerometer, ambient light sensor (for screen orientation and backlight intensity)
-Google Earth
-Yahoo! Push Email
-full qwerty keyboard apparently

downside:
-have to use it as a phone.
-no wireless sync to PC
-cant download from iTunes store (like we can here in the Philippines anyway. not)


dami pa. hehe. the coolest spec is the multi-touch interface, so pwedeng magdrag and much even better, it enables you to use several digits/fingers to operate the software (no stylus). for example, you're viewing a picture and you want to zoom out...what do you do? you touch the edges of the pic and pinch it to resize. as in kurutin. hehe. neat? sweet!

anyway. asa pa na dadating dito in the near future. $499 and $599 for 2-year contracts with Cingular. Apparently they had to restructure their...infrastructure a bit to accomodate the iPhone's features. For example, it arranges text messages by sender/recipient just like email and gives you a visual list of your voicemail inbox.

edit:
not much of a challenge spec-side, pero they released a pure touch-screen screen phone din, the OpenMoko hanep sa pangalan.
