I was wondering if anyone had any idea when the new range of iBooks were going to be released. I know they're currently "reaching the end of a cycle" so I don't want to get one just yet, but I don't know how long I'll have to wait.

I agree.Capt Underpants said:Well, the iBooks will get updated when the powerbooks get updated. Since the PBs aren't set for an update for a few months(and that's being generous), I'd say it'll be a while for the iBooks.
lazymuoio said:dont expect an update till mid november and it will only be a speed bump and probably a video card upgrade

chameeeleon said:Well, if they're updated at MWSF, what I HOPE to see would be G5 Powerbooks (or the dual-core G4s, whatever works out), and then equally cool (actually, literally cooler, since the G5s would be so hot) would be to see either 1.5 Ghz G4s or the aforementioned dual-core G4s (if the PBs get G5s) across the iBook line. The iBooks would be redesigned to be super-thin, 5 hour battery life laptops made out of the coloured aluminum that's currently used in the iPod minis. This was rumoured for a while, and I think it would look awesome for a laptop, and the colours would attract the University/College market well, at the same time as going with the "From the Makers of the iPod" thing Apple seems to be pushing.
