Scott, you are right. The problem from Apple's point of view is exactly that.
I would think there is a market for it, at least based on discussions with other Mac users, many people I know have bought an 12" iBook because the good price and size ratio, now the smallest Mac got a bit bigger so there would be even more space in the lower end of the product line. I'm also told that in parts of Asia subnotebooks are really hot so it could help Apple there.
It would not be selling like an iPod, but I'm sure it would sell enough to be profitable, if not priced in the cube sort of way. :)
