> I'm waiting for a Macbook Air with a full touch screen

You're in for a long wait then. Jobs said laptops with touch screens is total bullshit when talking at the new air launch.

He's dogged on a lot of things that they then went and launched afterwards (no video on iPods, no tablet, no cell phone, etc etc) so I wouldn't take his criticism too seriously.

Admittedly, Jobs has said many things that end up happening. That the switch on the side of the iPad would not be controllable (which it is now) is just one recent example. So anything can happen!

There is a world of difference between Apple changing their minds on a switch and Jobs saying that they've done extensive user testing on touchscreens on regular computers and that it turned out to be worthless.
