Invoice: backlit keyboard on 12"
I ordered the new 12" and the Apple invoice included this configuration:
Memory 065-5384 768MB DDR333 RAM - 2 DIMMs.
Hard Drive 065-5626 100GB Ultra ATA Drive@5400rpm
Optical Drive 065-5471 SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW)
AirPort Extreme 065-5392 Country Kit/Airport Extreme
Keyboard/Mac OS Language 065-5393 BkLit Keyboard/Mac OS
It's the same kb minus the fiber optics, so why not add 'em?

Comments
Perhaps just product differentiation (intentional).
I agree that it's probably the standard keyboard but just not hooked up in the 12".
Now, I'm typing this on a 12" PB, and while I would just love a backlit keyboard, I'm not sure where Apple would place the sensors in the current crop of Al's. Perhaps in the G5 PB's it will appear.
