Here is another news from Apple Japan:

nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com

It seems that Apple tries to control its inventory pretty tight to
reduce its inventory cost per unit so the sale price could lower
but still remain its margin. It seems that they've learnt the lesson
from Performa. Hmmm..., so far, Apple has applied Inventory Control
(major course in Operations Research) on marketing and work out
perfectly. If they could do it well this way with excellent balance
between supply and demand, then the net will indirectly increase in
the current quarter and the next one from iMac alone. Build-to-order
model will be used in Apple Japan as well.

I hope the consumer portable is under $500-something like a cool and powerful PDA. We've already got iMac for $1299, and powerful powerbooks. I remember one of the constant complaints about Newton was that although it was the best of the bunch, it was too $$$.
