Apple recently released its new MacBook Air, which is to me a failure as an ultra portable laptop. But even though it didn’t manage to achieve greatly as an ultra portable laptop, the engineering feat that it achieved is unbelievably great.The 13 inch laptop produced by Apple is only 19.4mm thick or you might say “thin”, and claimed the title as the “World’s thinnest notebook”, but not the lightest or the smallest. Like any other product from Apple, the design is beautiful. But to achieve the current state, some devices has to be sacrificed in order to achieve the size. The notebook comes with no built in optical drive, FireWire, Ethernet or mobile broadband. Apple at this point still refuse to put in a card reader and expansion card slot into any of their notebooks.

Texas instruments unveiled a new chip designed for mobile phone which will vastly increase the capability of cellphones by this year end. They claim that the revolutionary chip design through their long term project, uses 90% less power than existing models. Other feature of this chip include recording and playback of high-definition video, able to power 3D games and simultaneous chat among players.

So by end of this year or latest by mid 2009, we can see a pumped up mobile phone with 10 times the battery capacity we have now?  I certainly wish it’s true, so that I would only need to charge my mobile probably 3 times a month.
