“Apple’s Macworld expo will kick off on Monday, with Mac fans eagerly waiting to see what Phil Schiller unveils,” James Holland writes for Electric Pig.
MacDailyNews Note: Well, we’ll have to wait until Tuesday as Schiller’s keynote is scheduled to take place in San Francisco at Moscone West on January 6, 2009 at 9am Pacific.
Holland continues, “Steve Jobs might not be present, but we reckon we know what the star of the show will be. Apple’s long-awaited ultra-portable. The MacBook nano.”
“We’re talking about a Mac small enough to slip into any bag or purse, but with enough power to kick the Asus Eee, MSI Wind and even Sony’s Vaio netbook right where it hurts,” Holland writes. “How will Apple manage it? By doing what its designers do best: stripping away the features that clog up other ultra-portables, leaving the MacBook nano with more space to cram in the kit that really matters.”
“Apple’s designers will also build in a SIM card slot, using everything they’ve learned from the creation of the iPhone to let the MacBook nano hop online through mobile phone networks,” Holland writes. “Apple could even pair up with existing iPhone carriers to sell the laptop alongside the handset in their stores.”
