MacBook Air in the wild... with John Mayer

That's right kids -- the unthinkable has happened. John Mayer, electric-crooner, BlackBerry pusher, ladykiller, and all around bon vivant has gotten his hands on a real, live MacBook Air. Sure, it's not surprising that a celebrity millionaire who's buddy-buddy with Jobs and Co. would have a pre-release model, but it may come as a shock that he's using the new ultraportable Mac to look at photos of himself double-fisting a couple of BlackBerrys. We suppose it's possible that someone has doctored this photo, but highly unlikely.

it's a shoop. I can tell from the pixels and from seeing quite a few shoops in my time.

Schmapple, you are an idiot:

"...By AT&T's own classification and a comparison of features (i.e., no push-email, no SyncML, no voice dailing, no 3G or HSDPA, no MMS, no EMS, no USB, no memory card slot, no tethering/not data-capable, cannot open many file types (see word, pdf, excel, powerpoint, etc), no mp3 ringtones, no voice memo, etc.), the iPhone is NOT a smartphone. It is a "fashion phone." In comparison, another fashion phone, the Motorola RAZR, sold 50 million Razrs in its first two years."

Learn some facts. The iPhone can open word, pdf, excel all from day one. You can't even open up PDFs on a Windows Mobile phone without third party apps.

You then compare the iphone to a phone with way less features, even at the time. The only comparison that can be made between a RAZR and an iPhone is that the RAZR was slim. Otherwise they are totally different creatures.

Click on the image and you get a link to the undoctored photo, without the self-images. It appears to be the real thing.

This is strange for me to say considering I am writing this on a mac myself, but maybe you can split up the mac posts with news about other gadgets. This piece could have easily gone up after a couple of no-apple news is all I'm trying to say

Macbook Air is marketed toward women so of course they would have John Mayer toting one around.
