Interesting
you can now scroll with the trackpad like you can an ipod. Also, it has motion sensors too on it now.
Ready to Scroll
Scrolling through web pages or large documents on a trackpad can challenge even the most nimble fingers. That’s why every PowerBook G4 features a new trackpad with scrolling capability. Just drag two fingers over the trackpad to scroll vertically and horizontally or pan around any active window. Change this feature to suit your needs: Customize your trackpad settings or turn off scrolling completely via System Preferences.
Takes the Fall
Now every PowerBook G4 is equipped with Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor to help protect your most valuable asset: your data. The Sudden Motion Sensor senses change in axis position and accelerated movement. In the event of a drop or fall, the Sudden Motion Sensor instantly parks the hard drive heads so they won’t scratch the disks on impact, lessening the risk of damage and improving your chances of retrieving valuable data. When the Sudden Motion Sensor senses your PowerBook is once again level, it unlocks the hard drive heads automatically.

Looking at the FSB, these must still be 7447A G4s. I didn't think we'd get a G5 or a dual core G4 (last night's late night rumor) but I was kind of hoping for a 7448. I'll still probably buy a 12", of course.....

Ooo, they added a third speaker to the 12" powerbook to produce midrange sounds like the 15" and 17" powerbook too!
