| by Joe Leo, Columnist |
NEWS: 1.15.08-- The air will finally settle this morning, as CEO Steve Jobs announces the next big thing Apple, Inc. will land your way during the 2008 year. The official kick-off to the 2008 Macworld Expo and Conference begins at 9:00a PST with a keynote address and demo presentation of the new products coming forth from Apple on this, "Super Tuesday" of sorts.

Just to whet your appetite in the hours (or minutes/seconds, depending on when you're reading this) before the "Super Tuesday" announcement from Steve Jobs? Imagine, exactly five Macworlds ago, Apple announced its crowning jewel... and it wasn't a communications device. What it was, was the smallest--and still is--notebook computer ever made by Apple.
MACWORLD EXPO, SAN FRANCISCO--January 7, 2003--Apple today unveiled the new 12-inch PowerBook G4 with a brilliant 12-inch, active-matrix display housed in a lightweight, durable aluminum alloy enclosure weighing just 4.6 pounds. The sleek new 12-inch PowerBook G4 offers a speedy 867 MHz PowerPC G4 processor, fast NVIDIA graphics, a standard slot-loading Combo (DVD-ROM/CD-RW) optical drive, built-in Bluetooth, and industry-leading battery life of up to five hours on a single charge, all for just $1,799 (US).
"The new 12-inch PowerBook G4 is a jewel," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "It's the smallest and most affordable PowerBook Apple has ever created and the most compact full-featured 12-inch notebook in the world."
