[P1] icebook/ibook

[Tom R. no spam]

The biggish, fruit (and graphite) colored are called "clamshell"
based on their structure.  The 1st of the current smaller, more
rectilinear ones are called "iceBook" based on their transparent-
over-white case and grey keyboard-frame-piece.  I don't know about
the now-current rectilinear ones, which are solid milky white
keyboard-frame-piece and solid shiny white case, people seem to
call them too "iceBooks", probably based on their configuration
similiarity, but maybe like "snowBooks" or "icecremeBooks" or
"applianceBooks" would fit their appearance better.
