I've got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse - and the wake from sleep on bluetooth option is checked but my Air goes to sleep when ever I close the lid and won't wake up unless it's open. Is the Air not capable of this??

I thought they would wake on bluetooth, guess not. However, go to versiontracker.com and download a free utility called InsomniaX. It works like a champ.
Thanks for the tip.
Is this what people use for the other Mac laptops?
Whoa, it doesn't run in lid closed mode? Wow, I know that might not matter to many, but i was trying to decide between MBP and MBA - and if that is true, that is a deal breaker for me.

my MBP (don't have a MBA) only operates an external monitor with the lid closed if AC power is plugged in. It will operate the display and a monitor when the lid is open (I use an apple wireless keyboard & wireless mighty mouse) but not with the lid closed. I don't know if this is caused by Power Saver mode or whatever, but it was in Tiger and Leopard.
You've just described how clamshell mode is supposed to operate.
Can anyone confirm whether or not the macbook operates this way?
MacBook (not MacBook Air) operates this way.

It wakes up when I move my bluetooth mouse.....
What about with the display open, does it span or mirror the MBA display?
