Apple released some pretty awesome stuff at MacWorld today. The MacBook Air is wicked. I want(ed) one. I had the credit card in hand. Thing is, not having an ExpressCard slot for an EVDO card is a total dealbreaker. WiFi just isn’t everywhere you want it to be, and even when it is often times its not free. I wish Apple would just put a Verizon or Sprint EV/DO chipset in the thing and say activate it if you want to. I’d be fine with that.
Too bad 
I really wanted one.

Damn I would get rid of my little windows laptops for this if they supported evdo. I think there is usb evdo modems though…
Sprint makes a usb evdo card. So ha.

And if you’ve ever used one, like I have, you know its a dangly, inconvenient, poor-performing piece of shit.
Thanks for playing.
I’m using the aircard right now… and I used the expresscard too…
I’m not sure why such a hate… but maybe it’s something technical that my simple mind wouldn’t understand…
