flash memory prices are now low enough (c.$2.5/gig) to make it a give away media. they don't scratch, don't need a mechanic transport to use them and are smaller than cd/dvds. in 2 years i doubt there will be any tape or dvd based consumer video cameras and we'll be looking at our cd/dvd shelves with resentment.
i think i agree that the airbook maybe the new cube but externalising the the superdrive is not a bad thing.
i am a bit surprised at the number or ports on the airbook, it does preclude compatibility with a lot professional type peripherals that users might have hoped to use with such a machine.
