I am NOT an Apple fanboy. I will only say this once. I am not crazy about the iPhone, or their iPods, but I must admit Apple is changing the world with every new product, finding new paths and setting the direction for the rest of the industry, and that’s what really matters, in the end. No matter how many weak points may find people in the MacBook Air (I made it clear already - I love the MacBook), it has become clear already that Apple’s latest notebook has changed the direction of other companies, and I am talking about PC manufacturers.

A few days ago, Apple released updates to its iWork ‘08 office applications suite, but that wasn’t such a big event, after all. What everyone is (still) waiting is the Apple TV “Take 2″ software, the update that would enable Apple TV users “to rent high definition movies directly from their widescreen TVs”, and according to an official statement from Steve Jobs’ company, “Apple now plans to make the free software download available to existing Apple TV customers in another week or two.”, which shouldn’t be that bad, after all…

First of all, let me try to rephrase the title…do you think “less expensive iPhones” sounds better? Since an entire planet is running to get best possible price for every product, it’s not that easy to reach a target sales number as large as millions without cutting the prices and, according to analysts, that’s exactly what Apple should do with the iPhone…

Being a pretty expensive piece of technology, the MacBook Air should be protected as much as possible from dust, scratches, water and so on. Getting a protective sleeve won’t help you in case you manage to fall into a river or a lake holding your beloved Apple laptop, but it will surely protect your Air from getting scratched, before anything else. Also, you may get one to suit your favorite suit of clothes… so what do you think about it?

I wouldn’t go that far to say the iPhone was released without proper software support, a practice very “popular” with hardware producers these days, but it’s always strange to see software updates that should improve the usability and features of a certain device, but come with new problems instead. Unfortunately, exactly the same happened with the 1.1.3 software update for the iPhone…
