January 15th, 2008Macworld disappoints, MacBook “Air” airless, no iPhones for Canada
Macworld has just wrapped up. Sadly for Canadian wireless enthusiasts there’s little report. No iPhones for Canada. The “Macbook Air” was announced but what’s so “air” about it is a mystery. Unlike ultraportables from competitors, the slender device features no mobile broadband connectivity. So no EVDO, no HSDPA. It’s got 802.11n but you’re tethered to within 100ft of an access point.
And with no card slot and only 1 (one) USB port, one hopes that you wouldn’t want to try and use an external WLAN dongle and, for example, a memory key at the same time.
Ah well, there’s always next year.
