Not to be confused with the app, iBooks were a line of portable computers sold by Apple between 1999 and 2006. The first line, also known as the "Clamshell," was clearly modeled on the blueberry iMac. The iBook G3 came in five colors: Tangerine (pictured on the left), Blueberry, Key Lime, Indigo, and Graphite. The first basic models were equipped with 32 MB of memory and a 300 MHz processor. As you might recall from the keynote announcing this product, the Clamshell iBook also came with a handle.
