iBook Specs...

I hope Apple keep the 12" screen and formfactor, it's a defining feature of the current iBook. Not to mention it's the main reason I'm going to buy my first mac ever.

the best upgrade they could possibly do, is to PUT THE USB PORTS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE iBOOK!!!

most of the world is right handed, and running an apple mouse with the small cables from the left to the right is an ergonomic joke!

I concur with the USB on the right side argument, to an extent. Why can't Apple just put one or two more USB ports on the iBook, and extend its reach into the digital hub? Two on the left, two on the right?

Don't think there is room for it (battery + CD/DVD-drive), but one extra USB port on the other side would be perfect. I'm totally with you Pants. USB ports on the left side only, is not only a joke, it's insane....

Why not in the back, like the tiBook, or G3 powerbook? Everyone would be happy then.

Right now I'd kill for the new Tibook, but might consider a G4 ibook. I refuse to buy a G3 anything.

I agree g3 is now 5 or so years old. Old technology is not up to the standard of the newer chip sets. 1ghz ibook on the other hand with a decent video card well that may be almost worth it.

Well, while you guys wait for something that may be more than a year off, I will sit here and continue to love life on my iBook 600 G3 with 384 MB Ram. It is a really fast little machine in both 9, 10.1, and yes, 10.2.
