Improved support for Apple Macbook and Macbook Pro computers by default
Currently the support for Macbook (Pro) is incomplete. With the introduction of Feisty there is now a keyboard layout for the keyboards. However the support needs to extend to fixing the sounds issues. Making the graphics drivers easier to install. The screen brightness controls should work, the keyboard backlight controls (for MBP) should work. As well as the iSight camera, and various features of the trackpad. I believe there are currently issues with the fan control - this should also be looked in to. "Apple uses non-standard hardware" is often touted as an excuse, and it may be valid, but in a way Apple uses hardware standard to them. This is why OS X can support it, and why Ubuntu should also support it, because it is standard to Apple.
