Discussion on:

Implications Of The MacBook Air For Enterprises

"...it is small, light, and thin, yet fully functional as a computer.

A second wireless-related challenge ... is their compatibility, or lack of, with wireless telephony Broadband ?cards?.

Here?s my suggestion for a suitable Enterprise ?dock? for the MacBook Air:
*Apple?s USB to Ethernet interface dongle, for connection to the enterprise LAN at reasonable speeds,
*Apple?s external DVD drive.

Spare VGA cables for presentations; every Mac needs an adapter to do VGA,

Spare USB-to-Ethernet adapters;

Spare USB dialup modems; they?re optional on the newest Mac laptops,

Great directions on hand to the nearest Apple store where they can replace a poorly-performing battery."

Steve, apparently you and I have radically different definitions of "fully functional as a computer". This looks like a way for Apple to drive peripheral sales when road warriors forget to gather up all their assorted dongles and peripherals. Thankfully our IT department DOES enforce our hardware standards and I won't have to worry about this woefully under-equipped piece of eye candy.

Bluetooth keyboard & mouse.
-2 on the USB need.
The rest makes sense.
