Post Apple introduces Time Capsule, MacBook Air

Apple CEO Steve Jobs today unveiled a range of new products during his morning address at Macworld Conference and Expo 2008 in San Francisco. Of interest to photographers is Time Capsule, a combination of Airport Extreme wireless router and either a 500GB or 1GB hard drive, and MacBook Air, an ultrathin 3 pound laptop featuring a 13.3-inch LED-backlit display and a 64GB flash memory "hard drive" as an option.

Very Nice.

Strange that they offer 500GB or 1GB choices. Wouldn't it be 1TB instead?

agreed... with Apple's ability at integrating parts into a whole, seems surprizing that they did not just make it a RAID1 or RAID5 storage system... maybe there will be such an option in the future...

I wonder whats the life span of OLED display
some reports indicate it should be 3 yrs or so.
Make sure you get the Apple extended warranty

Is there any similar product in the market? Is the tech patented by apple? I won't be surprised if similar products will flood the market in the very near future.
