Shipping delays: current powerbook must be selling like crazy!
A quick check all over the AppleStore world yield a consisten picture: the current PowerBooks have shipping delays, most prominently the PBG4 12". When they initially appreared they did ship in 24h (at least mine did).
They must be selling good -- I like it!

My trackpad works nicely. But to be honest I did like the old one together witch SideTrack a bit better!

From our experience at work, the new trackpad on our 15" works FLAWLESSLY and we like it much better than the old one with Sidetrack (it's more responsive); I'm very surprised that people are having problems but it's to be expected with every new revision. I guess we got lucky.
I think the original idea that the new Pbooks are in a pretty good demand are correct.

There may be a good reason for that: while all PowerBook are pretty competitive compared to equivalent WinTel offeringes, the 12" PBG4 is way cheaper then anything (except absolute no-name products) in the PC-World! Small WinTel notebooks are either slow/featureless or way too expensive. For example look at the Dell offering (x300/d410)!
