What's more, it's apparent Apple's OS licensing is once again up for grabs like a jump ball as the first non-Mac hardware hits the market since the Apple Clones of the '90's: Motorola'sStarMax, Power Computing, Radius, Umax Supermac, DayStar... Gee, can an Intel machine be far ahead of a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit settlement?

What else could Air be? Apple's own tablet version came to my mind first thing, and afterward I found the same idea on tuaw.com from January 1st mentioning the prospect of pen-less touch-screens. Quite likely I believe, as the iPhone screen does rock.

I'm hoping that what's air-bound is all web video to Apple TV and the end of the ridiculous content restrictions in its use which are jamming up sales big time. If I could watch anything I want on Apple TV and not just iTunes coded files and YouTube (without having to hack away), well, then the purchase would be tough to resist. I would buy that device.
