>>> [0]Thin Laptop: http://www.apple.com/macbookair/

>>It looks cool, but I'm not that excited about it mostly due to the price
>>point. Although the addition of the solid state 64gb hard drive is really
>>awesome

>>> [1]Wireless Storage/Base Station:
>>
>>I wish he'd gone on more about this. The price doesn't seem bad, $299 for
>>500gb and $499 a terabyte, plus it's a wireless base station. He stated that
>>it has "business class" hard drives, but does that mean Raid? Or just "high
>>quality"? Although Time Machine backs up to it automatically is pretty cool.
>>
>>> [3] Apple TV price cut: http://www.apple.com/appletv/
>>
>>Bleh, perhaps it'll push the Apple TV more, it's a product that really needs
>>it. Personally I have no use for it but I'm sure  a lot of people will geek
>>out on it.
