If they announce an Intel iBook, I'm certainly selling my currently two month old July 2005 white iBook...sure I'll be out probably $400 for the one I want, but my god, this thing is S-L-O-W. Also I (sadly) still need a Windows box for a few things, and dual booting would be nice, or even running VMWare or VirtualPC (since the Yonah supports Intel's Virtualisation it should be pretty speedy). I hope major apps are available soon, but I can't see Photoshop running a whole lot slower than it already does on my iBook (1.33Ghz/1GB RAM 12")
Also the Inquirer is showing that the slowest single and dual core Yonah will debut at 1.66GHz, with a 1.5GHz low voltage dual coming out as well (doubtful for iBook...the low voltage Yonahs are for subnotebooks and usually carry a nice price premium). So if Apple comes out with an intelBook, it's going to be the same clock speed as the fastest G4 PowerBook...hrm. I'd be pretty pissed if I just bought a PowerBook =P http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27770
Edit: slashdotted, yet again
