tethering with bluetooth really drains the iphone battery so fast.

That's why you plug it into the car charger - not many laptop car chargers or at least not something I own

So I made a christmas list of a few things for my MBA. I already have a ACD and bluetooth keyboard w/ magic mouse. But on the list I included the Mstand, belkin powered 4 port usb hub, usb superdrive, and a leather sleeve. Anyone think of anything else I should ask for possibly for the MBA?

I bought a small item that's kind of nice.

An 8GB Store N Go by Verbatim for $25

It's designed for Mac and allows you to split the USB drive and have a password protected area. You can also have the private area and public area formatted 2 different ways. Such as for Mac and the other one FAT.

A neat toy for little money!

These are great - ever notice Apple laptop screens that have key impressions on the screen? Or trackpad clicker marks in the bezel?

The only thing I have is the Incase slip on case and a USB mouse. Don't need anything else really.

Kinda negates "thin and light"

"Thin and Light" is the type of ladies we pick up

My must-have: a Timbuk2 Curly-Q quilted laptop sleeve. That thing has taken a couple of decent hits, and my beloved little Air is none the worse for it.

As stated it is the Muzetto by WaterField ... I not only have the 13" bag (and a sleeve) for my Air, I bought the 10" man purse.

A Kensington USB Hub

A keyboard cover

A good screen cleaner

A decent case

Your tastes may vary, but I would get something in these categories.
