Apple new product:MacBook Air laptop
Today is the first day of November, 2010, soon passed unconsciously.The year is always something worth remembering, in the field of electronic products Apple is undoubtedly the biggest winner this year.Whether iPad tablet, iPhone 4 or just launched the new MacBook Air, Apple's products become increasingly popular.
The new MacBook Air starts at $1119, weighs as little as 1 kg, and measures 0.28 centimetres at its thinnest to 1.72 centimetres at the rear.
It is designed to replicate the versatility of popular devices like the iPhone and iPad on its venerable computer line, and will incorporate Facetime video chats and an apps store.
Running on flash storage like the iPad rather than hard drives like conventional computers, it can power up instantly and store data twice as fast, Apple's chief executive said.
"We asked ourselves what would happen if a MacBook and an iPad hooked up? Well, this is the result," Jobs told investors and reporters at a media event in Cupertino, California.
Loading up its Macs with iPad characteristics may help stave off fears that sales will begin bleeding over to the tablet, which has stirred up surprisingly strong demand.
In the quarter that just ended, Mac revenue was $US4.9 billion, less than a quarter of Apple's overall revenue.
But while much of the consumer and investor attention is focused on the iPhone and iPad, the Mac has been critical to the company's success over the past few years. Apple sold 13.6 million of its personal computers in fiscal 2010 ended September, up more than 30 per cent and far outpacing the overall market.
In the third calendar quarter, Apple became the number 3 personal computer-maker in the United States with a 10.6 per cent market share, according to IDC. Its global market share is less than 5 per cent, and the company is aiming to increase sales outside its US stronghold.
The Mac user base is now 50 million people.

Chinese workers were assembling Apple computers and iPhones and can not walk or run
Australian media have reported that they were assembling Apple computers and iPhones and stay in the hospital for several months after being exposed to harmful chemicals.
"At first the symptoms were pretty obvious," one woman said of her reaction to breathing in the chemical, which was used to clean and stick logos on products. "My hands were numb. I could hardly walk or run," she added.
An Australian spokeswoman for the US company told AFP that Apple took workers' health very seriously and conducted audits to check conditions, as well as requiring training in on-site health and safety.
In 2009, dozens of workers at a Suzhou factory managed by a subsidiary of Taiwanese company Wintek became ill from exposure to n-hexane. Wintek subsequently stopped all use of the chemical on its production line.
Labour activists have previously raised concerns about conditions in Chinese factories producing iPhones, arguing that millions of employees endure long hours, low pay and high pressure as they make the smartphones.
Taiwanese firm Foxconn, which makes electronic goods for Apple and other Western technology firms, has seen a spate of suicides at its Chinese plants this year.

"It's running components designed for PCs, including 8 times the amount of RAM that's in an iPad. It runs PC applications unmodified."
HP said this Slate 500 "for rarely work in the traditional desktop computer, but need to be in a safe, familiar to professionals working in the Windows environment, it is a perfect PC."

The apple promotes the Mac application procedure store
The apple has held named “Back to the Mac” the release conference on Base company Wednesday. Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced at the meeting that will promote is suitable in the Mac platform application procedure store three months later, using the platform will experience iOS to transplant to the Mac tabletop carries.
As opposed to Apple’s recent raft of iOS-based announcements, this one will mostly be about Mac OS 10.7. The new version of OS X will apparently be referred to as “Lion” if the not-so-subtle image on the invitation is any indication.
And what’s with the use of “Back to the Mac” anyway? Is Apple just being cute or is it a not-so-subtle hint that MobileMe’s “Back to my Mac” remote-access technology could be getting an upgrade?
CrunchGear’s got a good rundown of the current Apple hardware rumors, including touch-based iMacs and MacBooks, a revved MacBook Air and CPU/GPU bumps including the Nvidia Optimus. While we probably won’t see a new iPhone, iPod or iPad next Wednesday, that doesn’t mean that we won’t see iOS at the event.
I love Devin Coldeway’s theory that iOS could find its way into Mac OS X in the form of an iOS dashboard replacing the current (and disastrously unusable) Dashboard. It would be a great way for Apple to capitalize on the success of the App Store and begin to converge the two platforms.
While the announcement of an updated version of Mac OS X might not seem exciting initially, the prospect of touch-based Macs iOS integration should pique the interest of developers and users alike.
You’re the CEO: how would you converge OS X and iOS?
