iBook RIP
Today Apple finally (after several false starts) announced the new MacBook, their rebranded iBook. They look pretty sweet:
You have to pay more for black ):. I'm sad to see the iBook nameplate retired, though-I have fond memories of all the iBooks I've owned, going back to my white and dark grey blue iBook DVD I bought in fall 2000.1.83 Ghz Core Duo White, $1,099

I like the name iBook better (probably because I'm so used to seeing and hearing iPod), but I guess it'd be kinda silly to have MacBook Pro without a regular MacBook normal.
Black costs more, but there's also an extra 20g and an extra 2 days of waiting time. I thought the point was that Mac had laptops that weren't black so they stood out from the other laptops ;)
