3rd party accessories for Apple products are a dime a dozen, and companies go a great distance to differentiate from the other fish. Belken have done it with their Macbook Air sleeves by releasing them months ahead of the actual Macbook Air. Who knows how they tested to make sure the Air would fit accurately (maybe some side deal with Apple)?
Belken have got 6 sleeves ready for you imaginary Macbook, ranging from a simple black neoprene sleeve for $29.99 to a cyan leather/neoprene sleeve for $49.99. I would go into much more detail about the products, but it will be easier to get an idea from the included pictures. The pockets come with a lifetime warranty and will be available before the Air (I guess?).

Now that Asus have done such a successful launch of the EeePC, it is time for them to follow it up with the real bread and butter, the accessories. Unfortunately, unlike the EeePC (or maybe like the EeePC for some people), the accessories aren’t all that exciting.
There will be a mouse, headphones, power adapter, and extra battery. The mouse will be USB (is there any other standard?), have a 1000dpi and be available in 5 different colours (to match your EeePC). The noise-isolating headphones feature a 1.15m cable and 3 sizes of earbud gel tips. Power adapter gives power I would say, and the battery will come in 2 flavours, a 4 cells with 5200mAh or 6 cells with 7800mAh (coming soon and could possibly give you 6-7 hours life).
I’m sorry Asus but this is pretty weak. Where is the docking station? The screen protector and 20 different types of EeePC branded cases? Where are the Bluetooth and other wireless add-ons? Hopefully we will get more useful addon’s as the year progress’s and with the release of the 10-inch EeePC.
