I'm not seeing what you are seeing.

Pg 30 shows a minor refresh for T60 in 3Q 2006 and the next T series platform in 1Q 2007.

That "GA 2/14/06" remark on page 30 means "general availability" (available for public purchase).

On that same page, there appears there will be a "minor refresh" in 3Q 2006; I suspect the CPU speeds will be increased (like with the Macbook Pro today). Interestingly, there will be a "next T series" starting 1Q 2007. That is probably going to be with the Merom CPU (or Core 2 Duo as it's known now). That is just as I suspected: even though Merom is set to debut in August, there won't be a new laptop to use it until 2007. I kind of got that feeling since I've been waiting 4 weeks to get my T60p.
