A recent study claims Apple is planning to create a new iPod effect with its new light-weight notebook models. The company aims to ship 3.27 million notebooks in 2006, a 42 percent increase compared to the 2.29 million units this year.

This translates to Apple's market share in the worldwide notebook market rising to 4.7 percent from 3.9 percent this year.
