I agree moloko. Apple can't really do anything in advance of Intels roadmap now. I would have thought the iMac would have waited for Conroe, or at least Merom since Apple might not wanted to go back to 32 bit on the iMac again. Guess 64 bit *really* is overestimated for us ordinary folks.
But as far as I know, pros do 64 bit stuff on their PowerMacs, so they cant go Core Duo. Maybe Merom, everything is possible with Apple. But my money is also on Conroe.
The iBooks, however, will probably need a rework before the educational buying season, so for them April 1st is the ideal time to transition along with the eMac (if it gets to live any longer) and the Mini (which might replace the eMac).
