Oh, old-school paper document. Nice but less chance to determine the exact age. Pity.

Makes sense. That would support your thesis of the e700 having changed its basis from e600 to e500 mid 2005 (i.e. due to Apple's switch to Intel). Reminds me of the "Motorola G5" (MPC7500) project in 2000/2001 where they eventually released only the "Embedded G5" (MPC8540/8560) in 2002/2003. Really disappointing.
