Thoughts Left Pondering After Macworld 2008

Macbook Air:  Anybody remember the g4 cube?

Is Time Capsule the reason Apple dropped Time Machine support for networked drives at the last minute.  Removing basic functioality to push their own proprietary product?

US$20 for iPod Touch software update (!!!):    I only got it a few of months ago and I ordered it the moment it went online at the Apple Store.  That's $2 an app, most of them widgets.  A whole $1 more than they are prepared to sell songs for.  I bet that notes app is the exact same one on the iPhone and doesn't even sync with your Mail.app notes!

Can I still not copy and paste on my iTouch/iPhone?

iPhone and iTouch software updates still do not include a basic app to utilise them as a wifi remote controls for my Apple TV and airTunes!   How much easier would life be with a touch screen remote that's already in your pocket!  Good luck trying to search for movies and songs on the Apple TV using the same remote that doesn't even work most of the time on Frontrow 2.  (With Frontrow 2, they managed to somehow keep all the old version's flaws bar one, add new ones and add little extra functionality in the process.  Plus they took out the huge awesome swoop animation!)

Not enough chumminess with ATAT to include a 3G card in the Air?

I wonder how Mac OS 10.6 will be delivered to the Air.

I would buy an Apple TV but there is no content for Australia.

The other Music studios have all joined Amazon MP3, yet haven't joined iTunes. Guess what?  Amazon MP3 doesn't work in Australia!

I wonder if you can install the 160gb drive from the iPod Classic into the Macbook Air?  Not that it matters, SSD is the way to go.
