I was thinking about that. I thought at first "Wow, I don't think I could do without ethernet", but then I thought about it. When I lived in Canada, I lived off wireless. At work, it was easy to hook up to the intra office web, and that's how everyone did everything. I was stuck at home, because in the shared house (between 7 of us at once) there was only one internet connection, and I had to steal it off the modem in the room off the kitchen, and that was ethernet. But that was the only ethernet connection I used. I think it will actually go down really well amongst corporate customers, specifically in parts of the US and in Europe, where businesses have gone wireless, and for those who usually run wifi but have commitments in places where wifi isn't guaranteed, well there's the ethernet adapter.
I think it will work really well for those people who travel, and might have a Mac Mini at home, with the larger hard drive, or work off a Mac Pro (which they might need for bigger projects), when they can just drag and drop items that they need, and take the Air with them on the road.
It'll be interesting to see how it develops. I think it's a bit ahead of itself, but in a year, I'd be surprised if it's still behind.
