Yeah, it's the same footprint as a MacBook (non-pro), just thinner. Bleh.

This is the year of MIDs. Where's Apple's MID (or even an UMPC, or even a tablet/laptop like gateway's swivel-screen tablet/laptop)? This seems to me like re-arranging chairs on the deck. Another conventional laptop, that's just thinner than everyone elses? who cares?

Though, the application add-ons to the iPod Touch at least make that device seem like it might be a LITTLE bit more useful as a half-assed MID. But it's still not going to impress me until it has an ssh client and can use a bluetooth keyboard (and a slide-out hardware keyboard would be nice, since I hate the portrait-only virtual keyboard they give you). Oh, yeah, and an open SDK. (and, what's up with charging $20 for apps that should have been on the device since day one!? I am SO glad I went with the NIT family instead)

I'm pretty much underwhelmed by this year's announcements. And very underwhelmed by the MacBook Air.
