This Week, The MacBook Air Arrives In Stores

The MacBook Air is no longer boiling hot, but a lot of people that want to buy it or at least try it in an Apple store can't reach it yet. The reason? Obviously, as soon as Steve Jobs revealed the MacBook Air to the world during its keynote speech at MacWorld, the Air became available for pre-orders via the Apple Online Store but, according to last rumors, this week we should be able to see it in Apple's retail stores too (well, most of us, I don't think they will reach all corners of the world at the same time)!

Now, I don't know what else would you like to get from the Apple retail store with your MacBook Air, because I don't have any breaking news for you. It's the MacBook Air, and that's all. When? Well...

According to various sources, the MacBook Airs are already stacked nicely in the Apple stores, but you won't get to see them yet. Why? Hehe...it seems they arrived in stores on Friday/Saturday, but if you look carefully around, you may even spot some camouflaged boxes, depends on the store, I can't really tell you. In fact, if Steve Jobs said "2 weeks", then they are not going to make the MacBook Air available in stores earlier, obviously!

Apart from disallowing Steve Jobs to be a liar, the slightly delayed launch of the MacBook Air in Apple's retail stores allows banners and visuals to go up as planned, on Monday night, and Genius Bar employees to get their training, before the ~~Tuesday~~ Wednesday launch.

Let's hope they aren't going to delay it any longer... I know people who would die to get their hands one day earlier on their future most-beloved-device, and I am sure Apple doesn't want to literally "kill" its customers!
