[Gadget News] Obviously Apple has to make the first Intel based PowerBook a smash hit if they want to start the platform off on the right footing with its new CPU. While they have many talented people in-house, they don’t have Intel experience.

[jluster.org] Apples And Oranges, Robert Scoble takes on Cupertino: In that vein, it’s no wonder Robert feels compelled to respond to the reactions settling around Vista, even if it means to defend Apples with a stack of Oranges. Geek Blogger or not, the tools Robert would need to effectively respond to any of the commentary on Microsoft’s new OS are locked away behind NDAs, so it’s hard for anyone, especially users like me, to make an assessment based on facts, rather than historic trends.
[Engadget.com] Apple recruiting Sony VAIO engineers to build the first Intel ...: A reliable source tells us that Apple has been “having trouble playing catch up with the learning curve for designing using the Intel platform” and that in order to have an Intel-based PowerBook out by next year they’ve been scrambling to recruit an engineering team with some experience building light and thin Intel-based laptops.

Beyond the innumerable business applications it could fulfill, it could display video & photos on a screen that is much bigger than an Archos type device or PDA, & yet smaller than a notebook computer.
[Tuaw.com] The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): Engadget is reporting today that as part of Apple's push to get Intel PowerBooks to market, they've been poaching from the VAIO team. Apparently, the boys in Cupertino have hired a Japanese headhunting firm to round up as many current and ex-VAIO engineers as possible, as quickly as possible.
[Theappleblog.com] The Apple Blog » Apple and Intel, ”˜Official’: And again, I covered that in last weeks post, including the strange situation that would occur if Apple decided to go the Intel route of the HyperTransport bus (an AMD technology, already in use on the G5-based Macs). There’s also the potential problem that Intels 64-bit chips are nowhere near as well received as either the G5 or AMD CPUs, which could mean a potential backwards step at a time when Apple are pushing 64-bit like crazy.
