No one noticed the slew of MIDS/UMPCs shown by Intel today?
Almost ALL of them based upon Linux?
I think Nokia showed these other companies that yes, Virginia, a Linux-based internet tablet CAN work well and provide good battery life.

It's happened before with faulty iBooks and such. They'll quietly fix the problem and then acknowledge it once the improved units start shipping. They kind of do it in a left handed fashion, but they usually are good about eventually admitting their shortcomings. Fortunately it typically doesn't take them several months and I'd wager that quite a few Apple employees didn't get much sleep this weekend and they'd already triaged this issue at the factories before the sun rose Monday morning. Mr. Jobs isn't very tolerant of problems that cast Apple in a negative light.

Kicking Nokia in the jimmy, one marketing exec at a time.
