This sucks.
Ok, so here's my take. Apple introduced the iBook 500 in May 2001. That was over 4 full years ago. Now, four years later, we're still stuck with exactly the same form-factor except for the keyboard change/slight-hue change. This is just wrong.
Yes, Apple never said they'd put widescreens in the iBook line, but it only makes sense and is what Apple should've done. The Intel news was bad news and I think what's happening right now is that people are afraid to buy anything that is G4 for the next 11 months. This is even more reason to have wowed the hell out of us now, to keep us here.
Apple's done it before , where they introduced something new just to hold people off ..... the "yikes!" g4 . They couldn't get enough AGP g4s out, so they did that. I think the new form factor should've come out now, and then put intels in there later.
Oh, and if they slap "intel inside" or put celerons in ibooks, I'm gonna puke.
Anyway, I'm very disappointed. It's a valid rant to complain that PCs get way better displays... they've been upgraded in the last four years. But for us, 1024x768 is still standard on BOTH ibooks.
The gap between Microsoft and Apple is closing. I'm started to feel shame for speaking so much Apple to anyone.
