A reliable source tells us that Apple has been \u201chaving trouble playing catch up with the learning curve for designing using the Intel platform\u201d and that in order to have an Intel-based PowerBook out by next year they\u2019ve been scrambling to recruit an engineering team with some experience building light and thin Intel-based laptops.
