does this mean they are covered by the deal already signed by intel
This week, at Apple`s annual Macworld show in San Francisco, Chief Executive Steve Jobs announced the MacBook Pro, which will replace the PowerBook line of its high-end notebook PCs, and a new iMac all-in-one computer.
The two machines are the first that use Intel Corp.`s (INTC.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Core Duo microprocessors. Apple said in June it would move to Intel chips from the PowerPC chips it had used for years, made by International Business Machines Corp. (IBM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Freescale Semiconductor Inc. (FSL.N: Quote, Profile, Research)
There has also been speculation that Apple would, along with an iPod phone, resell cellular phone service provided by a cell service provider, becoming what`s known as a mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO.
