Instead of simply publishing that paragraph, untouched, I added my own "thinking" by guessing at the pixel resolution and the price. By doing that, I corrupted what should have been a truly nifty piece of detective work on my part... and moved MacWhispers from a Page 1 site back to a much-maligned Page 2 site.
I'm going back to doing what I am able to do with accuracy: recount fragments of information I pick up from the OEM/ODM supplier chain behind Apple's operations... and publishing it in bare form.
Maybe over the next few months I can get the MacWhispers batting average up to where it should have been all along.

ChiMei does make a 15.4" Notebook screen (scroll to the bottom)

I have seen Chi Mei notebook LCD list; however, are you saying that it does or does not imply an Apple laptop???
With no other info, it is just a LCD panel on a price list... nothing more...

I look at rumors as vectors, where the vectors intersect is where "truth" can be found. I see no intersection above...
If so the rumors of a 15.4 inch laptop are entirely smoke!

I've since cleared my head, gone back through all the data, and have reached the same conclusion as you: it's smoke.
This was on the MacWhispers' site on the January 21st post ( it is still in the archive )."Chi Mei has been shipping the new LCD panel to Apple's Taiwan assembly plant for over two weeks."

Apple may very well have been prepared to announce the iPod updates today but chose not to as a response to MacWhispers bold predictions.

Personally, I thought the format of MacWhispers was relatively clear. Each posting contained an initial tidbit of info or rumor followed by a section titled "Analysis" (i.e. speculation).

I think you give Rumor Sites too much credit.
Mac rumor sites have gotten things right in the past...

So, could you please let us know whether this statement is fact or not?
Thank you in advance!

1. Since this does not state the panel is for the new Powerbook, the question opens, "What Apple product is this panel being used for?"

Data point: At Jan's MacWorld, I was talking to an Apple engineer who worked on the 12" PB. I asked him how Apple kept this a secret and things so quiet in general, and he laughed and said that no one on his team knew about the 17 inch PowerBook. They were just as surprised as we were. He said the executives and people in marketing usually have the entire story, and that's it.
