iBook-User Reports:  Revision B. iBook in the Works ! According to our sources a Revision B. iBook is scheduled to come out after Mac World Expo San Francisco sometime after mid-January 2000, well after the PowerBook lineup is out and (hopefully) shipping in quantity to customers. Fulfilling Steve Jobs a surprise every 90 days goal. Our source who talked to an Apple rep. said that DVD would have shipped with the new iBook's, but one issue was that the CD/DVD tray was a 1/4" too wide for the opening in the iBook casing and that in the next version they would, now go with the slot-loading unit as used in the new iMac's. Our source continued to state that Apple was working on offering 2 configurations of the iBook, consisting of a speed bumped Low-end and new Midrange model. (I say Midrange because they will be priced hundreds of dollars below the PowerBook lineup.) The iBook most likely come in 333 MHz and a 366 MHz models. The low-end model colors would remain Blueberry and Tangerine and the Higher end unit would come in Graphite like the iMac DV Special Edition ! He also said that at least one version would come with a Firewire port and that a built in Mic was not likely. Apple is expected to be the first to ship with ATI's new Rage 128 Mobility for laptops and is definitely in store.   Preliminary Spec.s (In progress) iBook Rev. B iBook DVD Rev.
