No user replaceable battery, one button mouse, not small enough to justify the price - thin is nice, but thin combined with large other dimensions just doesn't cut it.
A 4200RPM drive for $1800? It's a nice looking machine, no doubt, and I'm sure people who get it will love it, but they'll also have paid a whole lot of money (more, in fact, than its list price, because you'd be insane to get that and not take the SSD upgrade).
It's also not as though I ever looked at my $1000 1st-gen MacBook and thought "you know, it's just too big," but then, I'm probably not the Air's target market; I don't have, or want, an iPhone either.
