"There's something in the air" is the new banner for this year's MacWorld, starting next week at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. I just hope MacWorld is going to be boring.Do launch a video downloads. Or a new TV center. I do not care much for video. My television is an old analog TV, connected to bunny ears. I watch movies using Netflix (and starting tomorrow will also be able to watch unlimited Netflix streaming.)
Do update the iPhone to a faster 3G data network. But I put that in the boring category. And it will not make me an iPhone owner yet.
A sub-compact notebook could be interesting. But I fear it will not be cheap. I suspect it will also introduce a number of new technological wonders. Conventional wisdom advises not to buy first generation new technology. So I would have to wait.
My specifications for a new laptop are light, small (12 or 13 inch) screen, wireless and cellular data communication and with a huge battery life. The DVD player can be external in a base station. A Lenovo X61 does fit these requirements and has been a consideration. Running Linux that is. But it would be second choice to a MacBook or a new small Mac sub-compact notebook. So make my life easy, just update the MacBook with a faster processor. Do not make me wait for the second generation of a cool sub-compact notebook.
Just be a little boring this time. Or bring me the best birthday present.
Update: the keynote in sixty seconds

I just got an e-mail from Apple introducing the new MacBook Air:
Everything about MacBook Air has been streamlined. And then streamlined again. Except for the things that shouldn't be, starting with the full-size, backlit keyboard and 13.3-inch widescreen display. On the inside (yes, there's an inside), it boasts an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of memory, and amazing wireless capabilities. Mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.
It looks really nice!!!
