Nice, would love to see some sample pics from it!
If they were smart they would be rushing to get that done. It is a differentiator.US will have to wait for a Lumia version hehe
The one thing which holds me off a MacBook Air is that the graphics engine is much slower than in the Pro's as well as the limitation to 250G. If this is overcome then I will go for a MacBook Air as well.Stefan - I work in an office full of software engineers. There isn't one 17" laptop in our office. Mostly everyone has gravitated to MacBook Airs with a couple of 12" MBPs and only a couple 15". Most all prefer this with and external monitor vs. huge laptop to lug around.
Don't count on the iPhone 5 not improving further on the camera side of things. I think it is pretty obvious that Apple likes the fact that the iPhone is the number one camera on Flickr and in my opinion they do aim to fully replace many cameras.
Not sure what processing you do but there is nothing slow feeling about the current airs and I use a 15" MBP side by side with a 13" MBA.The one thing which holds me off a MacBook Air is that the graphics engine is much slower than in the Pro's as well as the limitation to 250G.

Sorry, still off topic, but my last question: I would intend to use LR, PS and CS1 for processing and I would prefer doing so on the Air. Would that be possible with reasonable speed?Not sure what processing you do but there is nothing slow feeling about the current airs and I use a 15" MBP side by side with a 13" MBA.
The most pictures I've ever taken on one trip was in Kenya with 18 days of shooting. I had an Air and portable harddrive with me. No issue. Just need to manage and air and not let too much stuff build up. I don't try and keep my entire photo library on it. It isn't my primary home machine right now.
With Dropbox and Evernote my only local storage need is for photos and drives are cheap.
Back on topic: my understanding is the Pureview was meant to work with Symbian and I don't think they've migrated it to Windows yet. Windows does look interesting but there is still some question about the current devices baing able to update to the newest version of windows this year and that answer is not yet clear.
Many thanks Terry!Peter,
I've used all three on my Air. I probably wouldn't want to use all three intensively all open at the same time but all three run without issue. For travel and photography and the more limited editing I do when on the road it works well.
