New iBooks and Apple Store

    Looks kinda cluttered to me.

    And Slashdot is what? The web's best use of white space?

    Call it a hunch but Apple probably spend a few million dollars on testing and revising the hell out of this design. You wouldn't be seeing it on apple.com if they weren't sure it would increase sales and confuse users less than the old one. This is Apple we're talking about.

    It seems pretty clear to me that Apple is holding their iBook line back, limiting them to G3s, to encourage sales of their pro laptops.

    Or maybe to keep the price down, perhaps? Nah, that couldn't be it ... ;-)

    If you want a G4 iBook, get a 12-inch PowerBook. Really.
