So in other words Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster WAS DEAD WRONG ON THIS.

Hahaha, I always said these so-called "analysts" etc are completely WORTHLESS.

ex ped: Munster was not exactly "DEAD WRONG." In his defense, he had the right price, but on the wrong machine. Apple did lower the price of a MacBook to $999, it just wasn't the new MacBook. Munster was certainly closer to the mark than the conventional Internet wisdom — that Apple would introduce an $800 MacBook. That rumor was, as you put it "completely WORTHLESS."

This is really applicable to many Americans. I love Macs, and would gladly trade my Windows XP endowed HP computer for an Apple if I had the money. Lower prices may make that a reality. Thank you APPLE!

"this is NOT the first time Apple has offered sub $1k notebooks. do the research!"

@ cg

I believe they mean Apple "premium notebook".

This was not the case of the late iBook.

"No Tablet Mac"

This one will come at Macworld '09. The launch of this requires a special event.

It'll be a bigger iPod Touch, with hand writting capabilities etc.

It'll be the iPod of productivity, App Store connected, with MobileMe, etc.

Apple worldwide market share will triple immediately…
