I can see why the iBook would go first, then the Powerbook kicks in second a few months later.
The first Intel Mac is going to be a big big PR entree - no point making it a trick high end device so all the numb-nut ignoramuses can again slap Apple for being expensive fashion items. Make it a broad based low cost butt-kicker. Make it EFI. Powerbook sales will be down anyhow as people await. Once the apps are in window, the PB can get the Intel treatment, dual cores, 64 bit and all the rest.
