I love how if Apple do something it's "ahead of the curve". If it appeared in anything else, people would say "how stupid!".

I don't think that many businesses are wireless enabled. Wireless is an anathema to business. They are constantly concerned about security, so much so that many company IT policies explicitly forbid the use of wireless.

While many places have wireless hotspots now, many hotels I've stayed in still only have a hardline into the room. I've actually been known to carry a wireless AP with me so that I could lie on the bed instead.

The other nice thing about a hardline, besides the fact that it's that much harder to eavesdrop on is that it's orders of magnitude faster. If you're copying large numbers of files between two machines, connecting via a cable is still the fastest way.

Dongles are lame (remember how they were lame when they plugged into the PC card you had in your machine, and how awesome it was if you had a real port). USB dongles are also slow.

The back is 1.94cm high, which is slightly wider than the back of my Portege R200, which has an ethernet port.
