What's so cool about a power adapter? Were they previously unavaliable?

It looks just like the one that came with my MBP, only mine has another cord

edit: oh the description says it includes the other cord too.

It's a lot smaller. Its about the size of the powerbook adapters.

Here is the Engadget article. It's smaller than the old one...more on par with the ones Apple has been using with their laptops for a number of years now.

...dang. Why Apple? Why must you make things smaller mid-cycle? You make me feel so inadequate. Just sorta kidding, I'll have to buy that though, reduce the space in my bag.

That looks identical to the one I got with my MBP last week. I was wondering what thos two things were that lifetd up, the picture shows you wrap the cord around them when traveling or storing.

Edit: It's not the new one, I read the article refereced above and mine is the old model number.

Well, I hope it ships faster than 3-4 weeks.. I just laid down the $85 inc. tax for a few ounces less to carry around. Either rate, it lets me leave one brick plugged in at my desk so I don't have to dig though my bag when I get home from work.
