    Apple should consider making the iBook case easier to remove and offer a variety of high quality skins. i.e. have some artists design say 10 different designs and offer them installed at the apple store.

    Then again, they just patented some funky light based color scheme, theme that can change. So it's possible that the exterior of an iBook in the future could change colors on it's own. Hummm a retro 60's tie-dye in motion like the iTunes Visualizer reflecting on the exterior case would be awesome!

      Like the success of changeable skins on Nokia cellphones!

      Could be cute!

      Actually, I understand the Flower Power iMacs were huge in Japan. Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
