I am planning on getting an Apple Air. Its affordable ($949) with student discount. The thing is i have 3.4 GB of songs, 17.5 GB of Movies, 5.9 GB of iPhone Apps. Thats 26 GB or so.
I was thinking to wait until iCloud launches where i can upload all my movies to the service. And then get my Air on which I will have only the songs and necessary iPhone Apps therefore limiting the space. I plan on getting the 64 GB Air.
Any other ideas?

You're not going to be able to upload anything to iCloud, only download stuff you've previously purchased. Your best bet is going to be to get a portable hard drive for all of your media like this one: www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10460
For $70 you get an extra 320 GB of storage space. You can put all of your media, movies, etc. on it and leave the 64 GB of the Air for all of your Mac Applications. It's probably the cheapest alternative next to upping the storage space of the actually computer.
To reiterate though, you're not going to be able to upload anything to iCloud, so don't count on that. iCloud is basically a backup for everything you've bought or downloaded through iTunes - all of your purchased music and free/paid apps.

You can use a tool called Monolingual to remove uncessary language support files from your HD. I have used it in the past and it clears up several GB worth of space. monolingual.sourceforge.net/

Adrive www.adrive.com/ gives you 50GB of cloud storage for free. That would cover your 26GB of stuff and then some.
