Mobile Musician: New PowerBooks Bring Back Audio In


The audio in port has returned to the newly-introduced PowerBook G4, after having been eliminated on late-model PowerBook G3s and the iBook, allowing input via a minijack. Audio quality is still likely to be better via a good USB or FireWire interface, but the return of audio input will still be handy. The only question is, what took Apple so long after prolonged frustration over this change? Better late than never, we can suppose.
