Portable Digital Media Lab

[Macnoviz]

Some time ago, I saw the "Portable Digital Media Lab" at the apple site for education. But now it seems gone, does anybody know if this is still available?
I really liked the idea of your digital media all together in one case, perfectly fitted, and since I'm starting as a student next year and in need of a digital camera and videocamera, I could really use such a thing.
Via Google, I got this image:

It's an institutional purchase thing - if you log in to the edu store as an administration, not as an individual, you'll see the options there. Right now it doesn't look like they've got a setup with a single computer and camcorder - I found the standard 10 ibook setup, and then there's an add-on - "Digital Media Creation Kit ", that has a few cameras and a few camcorders thrown in. Not quite the setup you're looking for, as it's really meant for an institution. here's the text on the digi creation kit:

What's included:

Thanks, but indeed not really what I was looking for.
