Thanks Anirudh.
Spoke to the guys, and they are willing to ship tio Bangalore. Do you have some personal experience with them? Reliable and genuine?
Yeah, I got my Macbook Air and iPhone from them. I was surprised to see so many people buying there. Now I know why there are so few in the Apple Stores
Thanks. Ordered.
Yes it would be fine for the tasks you want it for, and Lion works perfectly well on 2GB of RAM.
Is that the official line from Apple or do you have the power of foresight....or more likely you're just spouting rubbish.
Thanks guys. Ordered the Mini with 2gb. Easy to upgrade if it seems to be running slow. Will post back when I try it for a bit.
The minimum ram requirement tends to go up with each release. By the lowest air, I was referring to the 2GB model, meaning if the minimum ram requirement goes up at all, that one will not be officially supported (given the soldered in ram). There's no need to be hateful about it
.this is exactly what my dad does with laptops. i recently got him an 11 in with 4 gigs RAM and the 128 SSD. the 4 gig's of RAM will help "future proof" the device more than 2 gigs, and depending on how well he does quitting app's also help with system speed. my dad never quits apps so he always has like 10-15 running on his machine. loves it so far.

I'm not being hateful, i'm just pointing out that without any meaningful evidence to back up what you're saying i.e. nobody has any idea what the next release of OSX will require in terms of RAM (it may be less for all you know), then it's not a very helpful statement.
I really don't understand what people's obsession with RAM is, especially given how the MBA doesn't just require physical RAM to run, it also uses the SSD.
