MW CreativePro NY is July 14-18
Apple Expo Paris (MacWorld) is Sept 16-20

Good point, but then that's HOW long before PowerBook upgrades? I think those of us waiting for the 15 inch are going to die... Sheesh... it's been forever!

sorry that i was not sufficiently clear

there are no apple-owned apple stores in switzerland
so if and when 'old europe' buys from the 'store' we buy from their central despatch hub in ireland or from independents.
thus i was speaking on a toll-free number with ireland - not that it really matters, and not that i want to add to the general hubub, i am trying to convene a feeling of what apple europe despatch center gave me - i am definitely not talking about some apple sales point somewhere in the sticks reading their own rumors and rehashing it a gazillion times until it becomes gospel

Why low end?

Why would Apple introduce the low end first? That makes no sense to me. If I had to choose between which model to bring out first, I would make it the high end. Higher price, higher margins - more people would buy them if that's the only option initially.
