According to a source close to the P1 project, many of the early problems that were discovered with the consumer portable’s universal motherboard architecture, specifically the Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), appear to be addressed. This is good news for Apple’s planned announcement of the model at next month’s Macworld Expo 1999 in New York.

Although still a little unclear, we hear that Apple wants to be shipping product no less than 30 days after the 21 July announcement.
