Many people brought up many points to the impractical part of this option, first, If you need to restore your phone, it would be impossible to activate at home and if your not near an AT&T store you'd be screwed. the only way around it would be to send a signal to that specific phone (if posable) to activate it but this would slow down network time and is straight out impractical. Secondly if apple doesn't get a cut from AT&T's contract then why would they make you activate in the store. they wouldn't get anything out of it, why hold you to it, it doesn't add up. it has to be sold online because it has its own page online. they cant activate them in the box because it would be off in the box.


Bottom Line: I dont think that they mean to say that you HAVE to activate in store, but i think that they are offering it as an option, because with the Iphone 1, you could not activate in store and if you were not good at computers and didn't know how to activate at home. so I think that they are offering the option of them doing it in store. again i must stress that no where in that statement does it say that "Activation must be done in store" i think its just a service to help grandpa and grandma on their way

YEAHWOOOO. ok finaly somthing beautiful to sink my teeth into. nice it comes put next months, gives me some time to save up some cash, and it appears that they fixed all the issues with the first one, now if we can get all the programs from installer on to app store and then get video capture support, ill be happy

I could belive that. that looks new and re designed, im a bit sad that there are no pictures of it on though. looks to keep the glass front and make a plastic back which i dont really aprove of becase its going to get scrached up, bad.

WTF, how can you compare a bunch of hackers to the lives of 3000 (I think). I mean of course there are the nukes and everything but those should be in a closed network anyway, they can destroy countries...

I just want to know one thing, I am thinking about getting one, but there has been one thing that has been bothering me, can it play WoW, i use both and 12" and 17" powerbook now and they can both handle it, but can the MBA?

Finally...

I can get a 2.4 160 Gb in production refurbished 17" macbook pro for $2300 why would i spend $3000 for half a computer, wait heres one Dell insperion 4000 (pardon my spelling) i put one gig in it which brought it to 1.5 GB has 1.6 processor speed and a 40 GB HD which i could upgrade to 200 Gb, no dvd drive, no nothing and you know what, it has a full sized keyboard too and it only cost what $400. I am not a dell fan at all but jeez apple that is just too much for too little

I Don't care about the macbook air, i am not paying 1700 for a lighter slimed down computer when i can get a current production refurbished macbook pro 15" for the same price, apple thats where i draw the line. (can also get a current production refurbished 17" macbook pro for $2300 which still beats the 3000 top line edition of the MBA)

Stop making it, Hell, dell why don't you stop making computers completely, everything you turn out is garbage anyway, i ordered a brand new dell about a year back, they sent it with a busted motherboard, i asked for my money back and bought a mac.

its a shame that it comes with less Styrofoam that means ill have less napalm to set these idiots on fire, and no moving parts? THE FAN IS A MOVING PART IDIOT.
