Just underclock the P4 so that its performance rating matches that of a 
laptop-capable G4. Heat worries will disappear! :-)

More to the point, IBM seemingly didn't want to throw its weight behind 
the development of a serious mobile CPU for general-purpose computing. 
My reading is that Apple is all about mobility: the G5 desktops and 
Xserve units are sexy, but it's the laptops that are selling OS X these 
days. If PowerPC wasn't going to make a serious play in the 
mobile-performance category, then Apple did the right thing.
