MacBook slip up

It looks like Apple's web elves made a mistake earlier today. If you went to apple.com/ipod earlier today you were greeted not with iPod dancers, but rather the screenshot above. Notice the 'MacBook' sans Pro there. Does this mean that the rumor mill is right, and we will see Intel iBooks as soon as this Tuesday?
Who knows, but a boy can dream.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Based on the naming scheme, shouldn't the new PowerMac be called a ProMac? Take a hard look at #8 and do part-for-part comparisons. Seems like ProMac sounds a lot more fluid than Mac -- Pro. I really doubt they'll call the new PowerMac a MacMac.

As for naming, they want MAC in their names, which is why iMac didnt change. Why should Powermac or eMac?
Shouldnt they name the iMac the Macmac?

On the MacBook Pro, the name is growing on me and considering i have the 17" model on the way. I just get the feeling the next Pr desktop will just end up being called the G6 in froums and in casual conversation with my fellow geeks.
Funnily enough, I like the name "MacBook" far more than "MacBook Pro." The latter has too many syllables and people don't know where to put the emphasis.
However, once the MacBook née iBook is released, I think it will make a lot more sense. I think the new naming scheme will be:
Old name............New Name
iMac...................iMac
iBook.................MacBook
PowerBook.........MacBook Pro
Power Mac..........Mac Pro
Has no-one ever found the name "MacBook" to not really fit the naming scheme?
Think: If the pro portable is named MacBook Pro and the consumer desktop iMac, then the pro desktop should logicially be named Mac Pro and the consumer portable: iMacBook.
Kinda love that name: iMacBook. Just say it a few times. Logic above all!
No, that's from a Windows machine. Deer Park looked no different from Firefox, way back when it was released.
