Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster believes that the likelihood of an ultra-portable MacBook is about 85% at Macworld San Francisco.

Munster bases this prediction on circulating rumors about the ultraportable MacBook that have been making the rounds amongst Mac rumor sites over the past few months.

Well, big grains of salt are required to be attached to Munster and his ilk in general, but damn if I don't hope this is true, if only for the fact that releasing this device would reduce, by a lot, the amount of bitching I hear from a significant percentage of my friends.
