Rumor has it that the new iBook model line will be more low-budget oriented. I'm not sure if that's a great idea, but that's what the rumor is.
Personally, I think people who want a cheap Mac should just get the Mac Mini. There's a reason Apple charges so much for their stuff, and it isn't profit margin.
Latest analysis says that the Intel Macs are probably more expensive for Apple to produce than the PowerPC Macs. But since the amount of monetary incentives Intel has given to Apple is secret, we don't exactly know their production cost.

The core of Apple's OS, BSD and Mach, have been available for the PC for a very long time. Apple also recently admitted that for the last several years they've been secretly keeping an x86 (Intel) version of their OS alongside the public PowerPC version. It works well.
