Apple sub-notebook to retail for $1500, 3G iPhone by June - report

In a just-aired broadcast on CNBC, the network's Jim Goldman reported
that a source close to Apple's manufacturing facilities has confirmed
that the company will launch its much rumored sub-notebook at Macworld
in January and that it will also have a 3G iPhone on store shelves by
June at the latest.

Goldman's report on the new sub-notebook, which cited unnamed sources
who have supposedly seen the product, mentioned several details first
reported by AppleInsider over the past 12 months.

Among them are reports that the device will be 50 percent thinner than
the company's existing MacBook Pro, employ NAND flash memory in place
of a traditional hard disk drive, and that it will definitively arrive
at Macworld.

Although Goldman did not specifically make mention of a manufacturing
ramp, captions on CNBC accompanying his commentary suggested that
production of the notebook had already begun. In addition, he did
contribute one piece of new information, namely that the device is
expected to be priced aggressively at approximately $1500. (It should
be noted that Goldman referred to the device as sporting a 12-inch
screen, but AppleInsider maintains that it will include a 13.3-inch
display).

In his report, Goldman also added that Apple's iPod Touch is selling
"far better than expected" during the current holiday shopping season,
compelling one of the company's Asian manufacturing partners to
increase production of the touch-screen-based media player to 5.1
million units for the current quarter.

Finally, Goldman said that while industry watchers have been expecting
Apple to introduce a 3G capable iPhone by late 2008, his sources are
suggesting that the device will be on store shelves by late May or
early June at the latest.

A summary of Goldman's data points follows:

* New 3G iPhone by late May, early June 2008.
* iPod Touch is selling better than expected this holiday season,
with one of Apple's manufacturers increasing production to about 5.1
million units this quarter.
* New sub-notebook MacBook Pro.
* New sub-notebook 50 percent thinner.
* New sub-notebook employs flash memory instead of hard drive.
* New sub-notebook to retail for $1500.

Apple declined CNBC's request for comment on the rumors.
