New iBooks and Apple Store
Vokbain writes "Apple just released new 800 and 900 MHz iBooks, and unveiled a redesigned Apple Store as well." Looks kinda cluttered to me.

The new 800Mhz replaces the previous 700Mhz as the low end iBook. You probably have a combo drive in your 800, well the new 800 only comes with a CD-ROM (as well as a few other changes to make it the low end).
I dunno who it is
but it prolly is fhqwhgads.
A 50% increase in clock frequency... and a 100% increase in L2 cache. A 900Mhz PowerPC 750fx will blow past a 1Ghz 7455 with its limp 256k L2 in a lot of instances.
I hate Grammar Nazi's
Apple's sales policies are here. The only policy even remotely resembling what you said is stated:
Should Apple reduce its price on any shipped product within 10 calendar days of shipment, you may contact Apple Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775 to request a refund or credit of the difference between the price you were charged and the current selling price. To receive the refund or credit you must contact Apple within 14 business days of shipment.
You cannot exchange an item for a just-released newer version, ever. You may exchange one for the same item or refund within 10 business days, provided you didn't open the box. If you did open the box, there's a 10% fee. So the only circumstances under which one could do what you say are:
Otherwise, tough crap! That's the way it is when purchasing technology. It may well be obsolete by the time you get it!
runs OS 9 & OS 10, iLife, More Video Ram on low end model, 100MHz is 12.5% faster clock speed all for the same price.
What's your beef again?
I'm getting one of these for my wife (and it will be mine if she doesn't like it!).
