It's been a while

Hi all,
Well It's been a little while since my last post. Had a couple of bout's of MAN FLU and there's been a few things going on at work but I think that's all sorted now.
So we've had Macworld, an update to the iPhone and iPod Touch, the 10.5.2 update, the SDK should be coming soon............
Lots of stuff been going on.
Macworld
I love the look of the Macbook Air, I think Apple have achieved exactly what they set out to do here:
A beautiful laptop.
The worlds thinnest laptop.
Lightest Laptop.
They have also introduced us to solid state memory, I'm sure in the near future this will be the standard in all our portable machines and Apple once again have led the way.
It's a gorgeous machine that I'd love to own, but I have absolutely no need for it what so ever, I have my 17in Macbook Pro as my only machine, I use it for Aperture, Final Cut Express, basically it's my desktop replacement so the Macbook Air would be way under powered for me.
Some people have said negative things about it like:
Non replaceable battery , from what I've seen on the blog's it's pretty easy to do actually and if you don't fancy the DIY option it's quick and cheap to get it done at an Apple store.
Not much power under the hood, I dont think Apple had a workhorse in mind when they launched it. It's for the person that need's mobility and uses it for a second machine, not for someone like me who wants a portable desktop replacement.
Lack of port's, Again if you but this because of the weight saving I dont think your gonna want to carry a load of external drives etc about with you.
Anyway everyone has there opinion on it and I'm sure we could debate this all day long.
Apple TV take 2
Very nice, I may just be tempted to buy one when we eventually get Movie rentals here in the UK. Maybe I will wait for Macworld 2009 and Apple TV with a Blu-Ray player so I can get rid of my DVD player from under the TV.............
Time Capsule
An excellent idea, I'll be buying the 500 GB just as soon as I get the money together later this year.
The iPhone and iPod Touch upgrade is fantastic news, with upgrades coming this soon I reckon I'll be able to get my 32 GB 3G iPhone this summer
10.5.2
Some nice changes here, I'm a fan of the translucent menu bar so I wasn't waiting for this fix.
The changes to the Stacks was appreciated, I like the menu bar icon for Time Machine.
SDK
This will be worth waiting for I think, I'm sure with the rumored Apple event at the end of February we will see a few app's launched.
MMS and Video are a few of the things I'm hoping for in the next few months, I wouldnt even like to guess at some of the app's that were going to see released this year for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
So, that's it for now will be back soon.
