Had the credit card in hand..and then..

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…

    The USB’s are not cheap either, though with plans can be cheaper. The apple seems expensive as well.

    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…
