As to the rest of your post, the inclusion of integrated graphics did not
necessarily cause the pricepoint to go up. I would actually doubt that very much. I am sure the pricepoint went up because of the costs of the Intel Chips as opposed to the G4, and/or because of the research/design/equipment costs of implementing the rest of the new tech in the existing form factor. The inclusion of IG probably, if anything, made the pricepoint go
down.
I assume the iBook will get most of the features of the new macmini, and perhaps an isight, though I have never been one to speculate effectively.
I don't necessarily think that it follows that the iBook will also get integrated graphics. I heard it mentioned that perhaps the new macmini received integrated graphics to make room for the second RAM slot, which seems reasonable. If true, then the iBook may not follow suit.
It is also possible that the new macmini got the IG to cut down on costs, after factoring in the relative costs of all the new tech. This could apply to the iBook also - so it might get IG.
I don't really know.
