Stiftung Warentest is a independent german consumer organization which runs comprehensive tests on all sorts of products and publishes the results in the monthly magazine "test". The iBook Special edition stacked up very well against its Windows Multimedia notebook competitors - look at the (funny) Google translation.

One of the first beloved Clamshell websites, www.BlueberryiBook.com, which provided a lot of information, is gone. When i got my first iBook it was the first resource of information. No longer updated for years, it stayed online for historical and entertainment purposes, but now it is permanently unavailable. You can still recover some information using the Wayback machine archive.org Addendum: Good news - bad news! BlueberryiBook.com is back (end of June 2008). The new Blogger Design is a drawback, and the new owner is "borrowing" content from my website word-by-word without even asking. I refer to my article concerning Harddisks larger than 128GB. Stay away !
