does anyone know if apple will be making an ultra-portable anytime soon?!? i prefer apples to windows but i dont like the big size and im not a fan of the air.

There's a tablet rumored to be coming out soon. The release was eventually estimated to be Q4 2009 but a bunch of "analysts" and those "familiar with the situation" convinced the public that it would be released Q1 2010.

The macbook Air is apples ultra-portable.... so if you don't like it then your gonna be out of luck with apple. As stated they "may" make a tablet to compete in the netbook market, but thats a big may. Now that the price has come down on the Air its actually a pretty decent machine, perhaps go and play with one for a bit it, it might change your mind in person.
Tech Specs
p.s the air hasn't seen an update in a while, so its possible that it could get a refresh in Jan/Feb 10. -
yeah and i read somewhere that the 9400m in it is underclocked

I enjoy reading all the speculation, and would be excited to see apple release something (tablet?) between the iPod Touch and the macbook air.
-
Most netbooks that people buy now are 10 - 11 inches, the macbook is 13 inches it is hardly much of a jump -
The difference from 10" to 13" is far bigger than 13" to 15."
The Air is more of an ultra-thin than an ultra-portable. Many people would rather have a much thicker laptop (1 to 1.2") with a smaller footprint. -
In cramped coach airline seats, the difference between 10" and 13.3" seems HUGE.
apple ultra portable?
