I got dragged to go see the movie last night. I guess the Macbook Air is the best notebook in the world, since it appears several times in the movie. Also, there were a bunch of BMWs in the movie, including a cool concept car with a Minority Report-style interface to the car's computer. But I'm sure all of that had nothing to do with product placement, right?
At least he's not Tom Cruise Crazy.

My original post suggested the Apple paid for product placement. Your post confirms that for me.:D

Just want to point out that there was an article I read that Apple does not pay for product placement yet they have the most product placement in movies. Don't remember where I read the article I think it was 9to5mac

Heh I am not a big fan of Tom Cruise either but MI: 4 really did appeal to me as a movie. Product placement or other stuff aside, it is one of the few movies which forced me to watch it twice in theatres (last one that did that was the dark knight). Brad Bird is a fine director.

New York City!
Charlie Sheen used an iPhone in Two and a Half Men, so that also makes the iPhone the official phone of hookers and blow ;)

Then I want this phone! :p

You're missing my point. I'm not saying it is the best phone because it was in the movie, I'm just saying that a retail version of the phone/MacBookAir FIT the premise, whereas many futuristic films use prototypes of other company's phones and products. Just saying "Yay!" for Apple and how cool it is, that's all.

The Nexus is bigger and would make Tom look to small. The iphone fits into his girlishly small hands.
