Sorry to spoil the fun but...

1. The new tower Mac is coming out in Aug/Sept, not Jan.
2. Apple has already trademarked the new name... "Mac Pro."

I could have told you it won't launch this week. Do we really think a new intel iBook for a severely out of date old product wouldn't warrant a Steve Jobs intro?

The new "ibook" or "Macbook" will have an new case and a new design so our first indication it is being launched is when media starts getting invites to a "special Apple introduction" which likely also will have a shuffle replacement/redesign or an iPod nano capacity bump.

The off-white color is likely due to the camera/flash which often imparts a false yellow color to white surfaces. I bet this thing is snow white... looks good IMHO.

The "Made for iPod" program is only seeking royalities for the tag itself, you can still make a dock connector product for the iPod *without* being part of the "Made for iPod" program. That means the Xbox 360 is not doing anything illegal. Also the Xbox 360 will not be able to stream any music purchased via the iTunes music store.
