NBC's Today Show Gushes Over the MacBook Air

by , 1:55 PM EST, January 24th, 2008

NBC's Today Show took a look at the MacBook Air. Gushing praise would be a good description of the 3 minute segment. Even so, some of the more notable limitations of the MacBook were pointed out. The very Green nature of the product was also cited in this YouTube video:

Subject: NBC will be back on iTunes soon, now.

Back when NBC was first on iTunes, their late night shows would mention iPods, iTunes, etc. somehow, even if joking about them.

Then when the two companies split, no more mentions of anything Apple, and even a Zune reference now and then.

So, we are back to NBC talking about Apple products.

Not long before Apple announces NBC is back on iTunes now.

NBC sucking up to apple. Having saying that the MacBook air needs all the help it can get. This seems prime view for the business market they're so desperate to capture. For an over priced product (even for apple)

I'm holding out for the incorporation of some of this sexy technology to be used in "The MacBook" update.
