They did, OTOH all thier desktops (even the bottom end mini) have 
firewire 800

Apple got a lot of bad PR when the 13 inch aluminium unibody came out 
without firewire. Soon afterwards they removed that model and replaced 
it with a 13 inch macbook pro with firewire 800.

I wonder if the new 13 inch white unibody macbook is more or less (they 
changed the CPU and some of the perhipheral stuff but most of the core 
stuff seems the same) just a reboxed version of the ill-fated 13 inch 
aluminium macbook. That along with the need for some differenciation 
between the 13 inch macbook and the 13 inch macbook pro would explain 
the lack of firewire.
