Those who ordered the new MacBook Air with a 120 GB hard drive will receive an error message from Apple. It is expected that Apple's new ultra-thin laptop will be available this week, but it must actually arrive at the end of the month to new users.

Apple announced that it will not release another product until the end of the year. Many sources believe that the new Mac Mini will be released next year. Product timing appears to be January, at MacWorld 2009.
