A few initial thoughts…

1. The MacBook Air is a lovely product, designed for the road warrior. I foresee great uses for it for conferences and things, but it’s not going to be a media machine. 80 GB will go awfully fast. 1 USB port and no Firewire are also inhibitors. Look for Multi-touch features on future MacBooks and MacBook Pros if you want the cool stuff – I’d bet WWDC.

iPod Touch Lyrics2. The iPod Touch and iPhone have lyrics restored – so if you’re a podcaster, be sure you’re copying and pasting your show notes into the lyrics tab for all the world to see as a self contained show.

3. iTunes continues to be the venue of choice, unsurprisingly, for Apple devices. If your podcast isn’t in iTunes, it’s not in any of Apple’s stuff.

That’s the immediate takeaways for new media producers.

    I’d like to know if it’s possible to put the drive from the 160GB iPod Classic in it? Seams like a no brainer to me but there is no option on the Pre Order page. Aside from that sign me up for one!

    I agree about the MacBook Air. It’s a wonderful machine at this point, but I couldn’t use it even if I had the money to throw down. Twenty dollars for the iTouch upgrade is just plain bogus, however. Pish posh.

    how do you get lyrics onto your ipod? I downloaded the new software, but I don’t know how! Also, what are these Web things? (Sorry I don’t know more about this)
