i've been thinking for a long time that the TiBooks will definitely be updated at MWNY, but isn't it more likely that there will be a update at WWDC. is it possible that there will be a update at WWDC and then another, bigger update at MWNY?

Remember that Airboat that the kids dad in Gentle Ben used to pilot? avoiding those Gators' and caching the baddies???

You do... well thats what a P4 needs to cool it down....... preferably 2 of the bloody things........

If you wrap a rubber skirt around the base of P4 laptop.... Bing!! you have a Hovercraft...... That's the kind of fan power in these suckers......

What does everyone think about a FSB speed increase and DDRram in an iMac at MYNY? It sure sounds like this will happen with the PowerMacs, but what about the iMac? The G4 iMac will be around 7 months old come July. Doesn't that mean it's time for some sort of an upgrade?

I could see it not happening though. It wouldn't create a seperation from a pro computer to a consumer computer.

I'm hoping for that because I need a new computer before school starts and I can't afford a powermac. January is too far away to wait for a G5.

Nope

I dont believe we will have DDR in the iMacs until 3/4 of the year, or MWSF 03!

i hope that apple sorts out their licensing issue out with mpeg la and can give us jagwire @ mwny, even though steve said sept.

Predictions:

(Optomistic)
G5 w/new enclosure, DDR
1.2
1.4
1.6 DP ghz

(Realistic)
G4 Speedbump DDR
1.0
1.2
1.4 DP ghz

No new powerooks... too soon

ibooks, if not before
G4's and price point increase for ibooks to go next to new iMac in matrix
ebook with G3 for ed market to go next to eMac in matrix

Price drops on iPods, possibly 20 gig

iMac speed bump 800-1ghz

maybe new digital device?

and of course, let's not forget X.2

Now all that is a little optomistic, but we can hope can't we? It doesn't sound too unreasonable.

I don't know why everyone thinks that an iBook isn't on the way? I mean, come on! The current model is well overdue for a major overhaul (not the case design, but its guts). Or do you mean, no at MWNY, but there may be one before?

I think this is probably the best prediction I have seen recently, I love love optomistic view but I think we are more likely to see his Realistic.

ive just got a question on the type of memory apple may use.i remember reading on mosr an article that said expect 1.4ghz g4's with rapid i/o 400mhz bus and stuff. i dont think you can get 400mhz ddr ram so is it possible that apple could use intels rd ram which runs at 400mhz as far as i know.its just a thought.

As regards mwny id like the usual 1-1.4ghz g4 prediction to come true cos ive been holding out for about a year now and if they introduce these processors,ddr and faster hard drives and graphics the wait will have been worth it
