I just thought that Apple wouldn’t bother updating the MacBook line until Intel released their Calpella platform in Q3, and then all of these updates—FireWire, better battery, unification of the MacBook and the MB Pro line—would happen then.

I think they may be freeing up the Macbook name for a future Mac Touch Screen Tablet computer...

It would be pretty odd to refer to a tablet as a MacBook, especially with the white MacBook still chugging along. I think Apple has a long-term product segmentation plan, and they’re halfway through implementing it.

I have this wacky idea of Apple shrinking the white MacBook, cutting the price in half, and calling it a netbook.
