Apple is shipping 1394b (FireWire 800) on almost all of its products, save some of the "consumer" oriented products
I would disagree with the "almost all..." statement. According to the store in Apple's web site Apple sells 7 lines of computers (iBook, Powerbook, iMac, Mac mini, eMac, Powermac G5, and Xserver) with 23 models in these lines. Of these 23 models, 11 models (all of the Powermac G5s, Xservers, and 1/2 of the Powerbooks) provide FireWare 800 support. The other 12 models (all iBooks, eMacs, Mac mini, and 1/2 of the Powerbooks) support Firewire 400 but not Firewire 800. If you include the the 5 models of iPods as part of Apple's products the numbers are worse.
