The cloud and my personal copies on physical media back each other up. So, no physical media wont die for those of us who actually think about failure modes. But at some point, online storage will get cheaper at a faster rate than personal physical storage gets cheaper. People will like the convenience and opt for the online model when pricing is similar. Hell, I dont even like IMAP because if you delete an e-mail there from the web interface, its pretty much gone for good. Too bad the iPhone wasnt made to handle never in sync with Mail on your computer. I wish iTunes would sync e-mail messages and apply the rules and junk filter on the iPhone so you dont get notified for junk mail when on the go. A clock syncing wouldnt hurt either, iTunes could set the iPhone time to the computer time which is synced from the internet. My iPhone is off by a minute every month.

Who is going to pay that much just to have an internal drive? Not many. Those that actually need it for professional reasons can use a external tray-loading drive for half the price.

So how come Sony can offer a 4 lb, 1 inch thick, vaio Z with Blu-ray drive for less money and better specs than the current MBPs and MBA? I guess they didnt get the memo that it was too expensive or too big. Besides, how do we know what dimensions or what type of drive Apple will use in the new models. Maybe Apple will move away from slot loading drives. There was some speculation that they might use a new design bottom loading drive.

I guess they didnt get the memo that it was too expensive or too big. 1 Sony is behind Blu-ray and is desperately pushing the format before digital downloads get good enough for most people to jump from DVD to digital so they can sell these drives for little profit like they are with their PCs or even at a loss like with the PS3 in the short term to push the format forward. 2 If you have proof of a slot-loading BRD that is at a reasonable price-point then point it out to us. If you have proof of a 5mm slot-loading BRD even exists then point it out to us. 3 You dont have a clue what you are talking about. The Z-series start at 1800 without a BRD. You have to pay 20 99 for a 13 notebook before you even have and option for the BRD, which will cost you an additional 5 4 The Z-series thickness is 0 at the front to That is 33% thicker than a MBP and considerably more volume over a MBs current case. Again, exactly where would this fit in a MB or MBP that currently takes a 5mm drive? Do you think Apple is going to thicken its cases and move to a tray-loading drive just to accommodate a few foolish people? 5 Its been stated several times now, the Z-series does not use a slot loading drive, yet it still costs 500 and is twice the thickness of the MBs optical drive.
