Re: the Air... Man, Apple has balls.<p>The 11.6" is interesting, note it's 720p exactly (1366x768). Note also he said he sees it as the "future of the macbook", and the future of the macbook has no obviously removable/upgradable HDD (it's like RAM on the motherboard, so maybe it will somehow be upgradable).<p>People who didn't like Apple products yesterday aren't going to like them today either, but it's interesting stuff...<p>edit:<p>Flash storage ranges from 64 gigs to 256 gigs (depending on size/choices).
Multi-touch gestures, App store, home screens, full-screen apps, auto save, auto resume apps when launched.<p>As long as the App Store isn't the only way to put software on my Mac, sounds like a great idea to me.
Wow, there's going to be a Mac app store.<p>EDIT: Looks more or less like iTunes. No word on the submission or approval process. Steve said something (can't remember what exactly) that indicated that this wasn't going to be the only way to get apps.
Oh look, a netbook.<p>But 1.4G? Really? I love how they keep saying "fast processor" in the presentation, where "fast processor" is apparently two steps backwards in CPU technology. :-) The GPU is decent, however.<p>Is it me, or does anyone else see the point? I hope this isn't the "future of notebooks", because that future would seem to be anemic performance.
Since getting a macbook, I've found the window management in OS X to be terribly confusing (Xmonad is easier to understand IMO), so I'm looking forward to seeing how the new window management features work. Hopefully this will solve my gripes.

There's a link there on how to get it on other computers.
Doesn't seem to work for me in Chrome, works fine in Webkit/Safari.

No word on Lion having a new Finder app. It is once of the main reasons I prefer Windows over Mac.<p>As an aside, the Mac App store is actually one of the ideas I applied to YC with. Guess that has no hope now.
It will be interesting to see if these 10.7 multitouch features work on my 3 1/2 year old Macbook Pro. Recent multitouch feature additions haven't worked, so I'm not terribly hopeful.
