Luca, I think either the black color will become a no-cost option as you so describe, or they will keep it at $1,499, but it will grow into a true 12" PowerBook replacement (though probably without dedicated graphics). Right now, the $1,299 MacBook is really stepping on the $1,999 MBP's toes, but after an upgrade cycle, Apple might be able to stuff a slightly faster processor into the BlackBook, etc. without trespassing into MBP territory. I think there will be more added value there, besides a throwaway hard drive upgrade.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
