MacBook Air upping the game

It's no secret here in the MacFormat offices that the MacBook Air can't count me amongst its fans – I've compromised how much to drop two pounds in weight? – it's still good to see it having an effect on the market. Pity poor Lenovo – which bought IBM's computer line-up and superb ThinkPad brand – though. According to this fascinating BusinessWeek article, it had its own willy-waving ultralight laptop in the final stages of production ready for a February launch when St Jobs pulled the Air out of that office envelope, thus stealing all its thunder.

In other news, how many of you have heard that expression – 'interoffice mail envelope' – used in the BusinessWeek article? It's a new one on me...


The iPhone leads the way

I was talking about my first month with the iPhone in our recent MacFormat This Week podcast aand I mentioned that it was the first time I'd felt like I had the future of mobile computing in the palm of my hand.

Looks like I'm not the only one who can see where the future of handheld devices is heading. Check out this article in The Times Online today.
