Well, I'm certain of ONE of these things: the new iBook has 512MB soldered onboard, leaving the sole RAM slot available for whatever you choose.
The 12" PowerBook, unlike the 15" and 17" (with two user-accessible slots) shares that same approach: (1) soldered-on RAM and (1) user slot.
So you can bet your tater that if the $999 iBook has 512MB soldered on and a nice open slot for more, then the more expensive, higher-end 12" PowerBook darn well better have it! People would be quite bothered if they didn't.
And yes, I'd like to see 128MB and graphics comparable to the other two (I asked earlier if there were perhaps heating issues that always kept the 12" PowerBooks with lower graphics cards than the 15" and 17").
If there isn't, it's time the 12" gets brought up to snuff and be more like the other PowerBooks and less like an iBook. I'd love a 12" PowerBook (over my current 15"), but it always seems so lagging in some area, and not nearly as future-proof or well spec'd as the other two.
