There is a big difference between the Ipod and the aIr. One tops out at $400; the other starts at $1800. They basically made a disposable laptop.
And the battery was a problem on the Ipod. I remember when it first came out. One early adopter had a bad battery, just past the warranty. Apple told him to buy a new one. It was $400 at the time. Instead, he made a documentary about his experience that got Apple enough negative publicity that they released a battery replacement kit. P.S. Heavy users often have several batteries that they swap out so the can keep working. The aIr won't let them do that. |

A seventeen hundred dollar disposable laptop?
Must be kidding! Everything that can be assembled can be disassembled, you only have to know how. |

I can't even remember all the stuff that I took apart and couldn't put back together. The one that still pains me to recall even now was my Armatron -- it just had so many gears in it, I just couldn't ever get it to work quite right again.

They're not making a tablet because some idiot might be inspired to carve the ten commandments on it with a chisel and kill himself in the process... litigation you see.

The battery is replaceable, but Apple have to do it, the price is comparable to their other laptop batteries so you don't get charged for the replacement.
