    Nah, Steve is known for taking these things lightly...

    Dell uses them in their 12" widescreen laptop (700m I think?).

    I'm sure there are plenty of companies still using them for laptops and embeded applications.



    [edit] sorry MCQ, didn't get to your post until after I replied. sometimes I pull the trigger too early! [/edit]



    Of course, I'm more interested in a bump to the gfx, and a price drop...

    Well, the Australian Store was put back on-line as of 60 seconds ago. The new iBook specs are there!



    Disappointing they still have 32 MB video cards, though... m.

    Apple updates their hardware, for better price and increased features, and it rates an utter disappointment. First, keep in mind they didn't have a big roll-out, so what were you expecting, laptops that would hover above your lap? sub-$500 laptops with G5s and expandable 30" screens? Please, tell us.

    The new iBooks are a good deal, but the biggest mistake was not moving to the GeForce Go5200 video chip. That one addition, making the new iBooks fully CoreImage compliant, would have made them perfect.

    Little disappointed that the 12" doesn't have a SuperDrive BTO option.

    Yup...it's the only reason why I've decided not to buy the iBook.
