Some of you asked about
Core Image after we posted our previous article on the
new iBooks released in July which sport the Radeon 9550. As we mentioned in our article updates, yes indeed it does fully support Core Image in hardware, and this is best demonstrated by the ability of the iBook to display the ripple effect in Dashboard:

Update [2005-08-09]The desktop spanning hack also works fine on the new iBooks. With

I'm one of the people who asked this, so thanks a lot for testing! This is quite reassuring :)
By the way, I've read a lot about the iBook, and a lot of people advise not to use clamshell mode on the iBook, because the iBook will ge too hot if it's closed and on.
