I do think this will go pretty well for Apple. Small form factor is a growing market right now and Apple has a whole marketplace of new fans after the iPod success. However, those same customers probably aren't yet ready to pay through the nose for a full fledged iMac, iBook, Powerbook etc. There's been a lot of rumour and talk of this lately and I am of the opinion that this has promise.
Sadly though, don't expect to pay anything like £275 for this, which is about what $500 converts to at the current exchange rate. Apple doesn't work like that and this will be closer to £500. Sure, pick one up direct from the US on eBay or on your next holiday but be prepared to run the customs risk on VAT, getting a power adaptor for 240V and voiding your warranty. :-(
