I still don't buy it. I don't see the recent lame Powerbook "upgrade" as any indication that we won't see new Powerbooks at MWSF - I know Apple wouldn't want the Powerbook to be stuck at the same clock speed for over a year. (Look at the Mac mini...it got a small upgrade at the end of July, and a larger, unofficial one at the end of September.)
I can see Intel Powerbooks and iBooks unveiled at the same time, sure. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see MWSF being a "big laptop fest." But the iBook can't even get a minor upgrade to a faster G4 without stepping on the toes of the Powerbook. There's no way it can go to a next-generation Intel architecture without besting the Powerbook performance-wise.
and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
