NPR reports (along with every other media source) on the news from Macworld Expo in San Francisco on the new tools and toys from Cupertino. The head turner this year is the MacBook Air, an ultra thin laptop which lacks both a replaceable battery and an optical drive, but for $1800 or so, appears to be a lightweight user’s dream. The new low end Macbook almost breaks the $1000 price point.
Apple expanded it’s media offerings, updated the iPhone and continues the quest to help us define “where does your data live” which I think continues to be THE strategic question in technology today. The iPhone and other Apple devices are beginning to look like remotes controls for data that lives somewhere else.
What seems to be missing is a re-invigoration of .Mac. But it must be coming.
