Finally, news.... well sorta. There is no reason why the iBook can't get a single core Yonah or even a Pentium M. All Apple has to do is clock things just right to keep it even with the current G4 in the iBook (as to not overshadow the powerbook). Why the iBook?- it's been stagnant for so long and the Apple apps (which is the majority of what consumers use) should already be x86 native. Why not the PowerBook?- pro-level software isn't available yet, nor is likely by Q1 2006 (calendar , not fiscal).
Likeliest scenarios for Intel machines (in my eyes):
- iBook and *improved, beefed up* Mac mini- MWSF '06
- Powerbook- WWDC '06 (announced- shipping Sept-Oct)
- iMac- MWSF '07
- PowerMac- WWDC '07
