| Yes, the iBook is cool, if a little goofy looking, resembling a breath mint on steroids even more than the iMac does. And yes, it's a hot machine with impressive stats. But it won't be the 300 MHz G3 processor, the 32 Mbytes of RAM, the 56k modem, the built-in Ethernet, not even the low price tag that moves these things out the door. No. What will sell the iBook is that Jobs understands that consumers want more than megahertz and memory -- they want to be entertained. Chris Allbritton, salon.com |
