He didn't literally mean that NOBODY reads anymore. It simply doesn't make sense to plunge millions of dollars in research and development, manufacturing, and marketing to make a product that facilitates something that 40% of the population does not do even once per year. Compare this to the other products in Apple's lineup: I would bet anything that 90-something percent of Americans listened to music, browsed the internet, used a phone, sent an email, or watched a movie last year. Those activities make much more sense to target with time and money to make products. Reading: not so much so.

I don't need a supercomputer (at all, nor to carry around with me), but I do have a lot of videos, music, and pictures that I like having with me. 100 or 120 gigs would be an enormous improvement.

Toshiba makes a 160gig hard drive with the model number MK1626GCB. Does anyone know if this would fit in the Macbook Air?

The question I have that I haven't seen addressed anywhere involves the hard drive. Can it be upgraded by the end-user? And, if so, what kind of hard drive would be necessary? Jobs said during the keynote speech that it uses basically the same HD as the iPod classic, but are these hard drive (in larger versions) available?

My only quibble about this is the 80 gig hard drive...why not more?

If Apple didn't make everything little thing top secret and tell us something every once in a while (outside of a press release or convention keynote speech), we wouldn't need sites like ThinkSecret---or 9to5mac, MacRumors, AppleInsider, or even Engadget. I love Apple's products, but I hate their secrecy. The Illuminati were more open than Steve Job's inner circle.
