Apple Insider posted a news story that a new line of Apple notebooks believed to be nearing release have been spotted in both black and traditional aluminum enclosures

The latter systems are expected to include L.E.D-backlit 13-inch LCD panels, on-board NAND flash (for faster application launching and boot times), and lack a traditional optical disc drive.

France Telecom will start marketing Apple's million-selling iPhone in France through its wireless arm Orange.
