Great new products this year!
the Macbook Air which apart being "thin" has not much appeal .. to me at least.

Excited to see that NEC 30" display.
I'm curious too, although they haven't put it up on their site yet.

Im kind of disappointed with the Macbook air, i know its thin and it looks nice...but 1.6Ghz? thats so 3 years ago for the price of the laptop. i guess its understandable for the size of the thing but does it really need to be that thin? if i buy it i'll be afraid to just snap it in half. I had $2k saved up to buy a laptop for school (which already started) but now idk what to do. I was really expecting an upgrade to the MBP...but it didnt happen. I hope they upgrade the MBP soon, because to be honest i rather have a MBP thats 2 more pounds and .3 more inches than to have a thing that might be tiny but its really lacking a lot of things that makes a laptop great.

Hm, the Eye-Fi is pretty neat, but from the looks of it it's not a new product. I followed the link to their site, and from there to Amazon to check out availability and there's people with reviews talking about pre-Christmas use.
Anyways, I'd be curious to see someone figure out how to make this work with the iPhone/touch... I'd really love to be able to:
1) offload photos onto another drive while "in the field". 8/16gb isn't much, but if you knew you were going to need it you could keep a couple gigs free to empty your card on to and keep shooting (of course, for $100 you could just buy 8gb of SD storage). More importantly, though, is...
2) I'd LOVE to take photos and then look at them on the larger, higher res touch/iPhone screen and be able to pinch zoom, etc them to get a fast, really accurate in the field review. And...
3) for iPhone users at least, it would be nice to take high quality shots with the camera of your choice and then wirelessly email/post them to the web without being near a WiFi connection. This would be handy in a way for touch uses, as it would enable them to download and mail/post to a blog their photos without a laptop, but not as cool as with the iPhone.
On a related note, is there anyone making or working to make one of those adaptors for the touch/iPhone that are available for the regular iPods to download photos from your camera's memory card? It wouldn't integrate into your photo application or anything, but with MobileFinder you could at least look at them. I understand the issue is likely the lack of a disk mode on the touch/iPhone... but hadn't heard much about it.
