White MacBook Supply Severely Constrained Ahead of Update?

Supplies of the white MacBook are severely constrained ahead of the Mac OS X Lion release and a possible upgrade to the notebook, according to AppleInsider.

Many of the Apple authorized resellers that can be found on AppleInsider's Mac Pricing Guide are completely sold out of the polycarbonate MacBook. Specifically, Amazon, MacConnection, On Sale and J&R are all out of stock. In addition, inventory of the entry-level portable is low at DataVision. In addition, one of Europe's largest distributors is completely out of stock of the white MacBook, and lists no estimated time of arrival for new shipments.

The polycarbonate MacBook was last updated in May of 2010. It's likely that Apple plans to release an update to the $999 notebook ahead of the back to school season.
