Apple's New $899 Product is an LED Display and Not a MacBook? [Update]

Based on information we've gathered it seems the $899 product (K29, MB382LL/A) that has appeared on Apple's product lists is likely an LED Apple Cinema Display and not a low-end MacBook.

AppleInsider also confirms that new displays with a DisplayPort connector and MagSafe adapters are likely to arrive. The rumor site also believes the $899 product is likely a 24" Cinema Display.

This throws some doubt into the remainder of the analysis for the part numbers that were leaked.

Update: It should be noted that the $1299 presumed MacBook price point is labeled "Better" so it represents the mid range price for the MacBook. We still don't know what the entry level MacBook price will be.
