Although it will be a pretty pathetic Xmas for Apple sales if they follow the path i stated above.
Yeah, Steve seemed pretty frustrated about the speed issues with the G5 in the keynote. Putting cutting edge technology like that into a 1" slice of heaven comes with a whole other set of problems outside of chip fabrication. I don't really think we'll see G5 powerbooks until they are able to make use of fuel cells as well. Seems like a worthwhile slam dunk to wait for. Power and battery life.
