I think the iPhone has a way to come, for me anyway, I want it to do everything, and do it really well. I want broadband speeds on the move, and not just in London on WiFi, I want enough memory to take all my music and video and then some, and I want custom apps (coming I know). I want it to be an all in one device for me, that does everything I want perfectly, and it's so close, 3G is just one of the things I'm waiting for. £1000 is a lot for a secondary computer in my book yeah, especially when it doesn't give you the flexibility of having a near desktop quality machine like the MacBook Pro does. And also, it'd be cooler to have 3G built in *wink* Ah that’s interesting you say about the iPhone processor power.

There is no point comparing it to a MacBook because you already have an iMac or Mac Pro both of which will win the comparison against the MacBook. Except for portability, which is why you are buying the MBA. The only thing wrong with is it the price. Since the failure of the Cube — with its premium price — Apple have stuck to the idea that smaller is cheeper, which makes the price of the MBA even more of a shock. Also, web browsing on the iPhone isn't exactly quick over Wi-Fi, rendering a page is often the bottleneck not downloading it. A faster processor and more memory is what the iPhone needs, not 3G.
