The big news for this event was definitely the new iBook laptop from Apple. We covered it quickly in a news story , but here I will go into more detail on that and many other things that I found at the show. I have enough pictures and reporting to merit two installments, so there will be another installment tomorrow. Hopefully, you'll come back and check that one out as well. The iBook is a nice looking piece of equipment.
Standard features are a stylish blue or orange plastic case.
Apple decided to leave out the purple, green, and red flavors because of all the inventory problems they had with the iMac. The blue and orange colors were the most popular by far. Not a bad concept, because the latch is one of the first things to break on any laptop. It had me a bit confused for a second when I tried to open and close the iBook I got my hands on. The iBooks weren't even connected to the 'Net, so I have no idea what people needed to stand there and play with them for half an hour for.
