When something is thin enough to fit into an envelope, light enough to sit on your lap for a couple of hours without discomfort and so compact that it doesn’t even bulge in an airline seat-back pocket, wouldn’t it make sense that one could lose track of such a thing? Yes, it would make sense. Believe me. Because I can’t find my MacBook Air.

Nokia has built a flexible mobile phone that can be used as a keyboard and then bent around the wrist to be worn as a bracelet.
The Morph gadget will be mainstream as a phone by 2015 said Nokia but admitted there were still technical challenges to overcome, with power and the use of new kinds of batteries an area of focus.
Dr Tapani Ryhanen, head of the research centre, said: “The research we are carrying out is fundamental to this as we seek a safe and controlled way to develop and use new materials.”
He said he hoped the combination of art and science would appeal to a larger audience.
The mobile phone company first debuted the device five years ago, yet it has taken the researchers at the Nokia Research Centre in Cambridge until now to showcase its latest innovation.

Apple introduces the MacBook Air
MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable and ultra unlike anything else, that is so thin it can fit inside a letter sized envelope. It’s the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.
Steve Jobs, co-founder and chief executive of Apple, proved the feat when he debuted the notebook at the Macworld Expo and said the notebook offers other goodies for the tech savvy buyer.
Standard features for the computer include Bluetooth, 802.11n WiFi and 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
What’s more, all of the laptop’s motherboard, storage and cooling systems fit on a single board about the length of pencil and to fit into the laptop, Intel had to shrink its processor to about the size of a pound sterling.
The starting price is about $1,800 and is scheduled to ship in two weeks. Apple will also be offering a $3,100 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo model which will be equipped with a 64 GB solid state disk drive for those out there who need serious power.
