And the air is less expensive than a braillenote, or what ever.
When my voicenote dies, I'm planning to get an air instead.
I wonder if appple will give the blindness products a run for
their money assuming they continue to include voiceover in their
machines?

I recently read a comparison between the MBA and the top four
products in its category and the Air won the comparisons hands
down. The one USB port is a non-issue in this day and age,
especially considering the specific population it is meant for.
In terms of the blindness market, it is a great solution,
especially compared to the VoiceNote and VoiceSense in
capabilities. There was a previous comment about a new product
that is supposed to be better than the Air, but my reaction to
that is that I think you are being short sighted if you don't
think that Apple will release a new generation of Airs to match
and, of course, the factor of Apple software and hardware
compared against anything else cannot be forgotten.
Take Care

actually I haven't found the MacBook air to be much more expensive
than comparable subnotebooks, the key word being comparable. the
size
is one factor, the solid state drive is another, et cetera.
there is a new and welcome trend of cheap subnotebooks coming
out like
the asus eee and hp mininote both about half the size of a
MacBook pro
15 inch. priced around $500-900, give or take some for parts
like an
SSD. I wish apple would join that trend but I guess they find the
iPhone to be more worth the expense...

Lack of connectivity options? OK, grant it the AIR has one USB
port
whereas my MacBook has two, but either way, I'm going to have
to use a
USB hub. The netbooks and other subnote options out there
aren't much
better in terms of connectivity, but I suppose that's the price
to be
paid for ultra portability. Still, when you consider other
netbooks
and subnotes, the AIR is priced way way out of range.

Now if only they'd bring down the price on the AIR below a
thousand. Oh well, can't have everything I guess.
