Digital BW, The Print

The question of the best portable companion for a (different) digital 
camera has preoccupied me some too. But even before the larger, 14" 
iBook was recently released, I was having a hard time convincing 
myself that a "TiBook" was a better value than an iBook. I guess the 
faster processor combined with the faster hard drive might result in 
faster downloads from the camera to the Book, but I'd like some facts 
and figures on that.

My TiBook/iBook ambivalence might result partly from not knowing much 
about how either would be used with a digital camera. But I also have 
the impression that the iBooks are more robust/rugged and that would 
be an advantage for me.

I went to an Apple Store recently to see the larger iBook alongside a 
TiBook and did not see an appreciable difference in the _size_ of 
their screens. But I'm not sure the shape/format of the screen isn't 
a factor too. I'm assuming it would be used to preview the image 
before losing the chance to capture it differently (as well as to 
store it and give the memory back to the camera)?

There's also the question of which 'Book would better supplement your 
desktop when you're at home. In my case, I might use it both as a 
print server and as a cd burner, but I guess the iBook could do just 
as well at those things too?
