Funny- There is mention above about the lack of the ability to burn DVD's, CD's or Blu-Ray.
I just purchased my new retina display iPad this past week, and took a long look at the new Retina Display Mac Book Pro.
NO drives at all. All-Flash storage.
I believe you are seeing the end of the era of CD's and DVDs. I predict that in the next two years everything will be cloud based streaming.
I think all of your storage will be cloud based as well.
We that have been Mac "geeks" have grow used to speed based on storage capacity and the like. I think that we are embarking on a new era of compression that will not degrade quality and once arrived at the other end, can be restored to full file size after "transport".
Also, I have seen two friends that have "hacked" their iPads and run the full blown OSX (snow leopard) on their iPads. Color me stunned. Of course they voided their warranty by doing so ... but hey, who cares!
