Actually, The Monday. 
But seriously, I wonder if Apple will migrate their iBooks and PowerBooks to Intel first, if the chatter turns out to be correct.
Hmm...in a few hours we shall know.

Getting very excited. It's been a long wait and I hope someone good comes out of it. I WANT A NEW TOY TO PLAY WITH!!
Does anyone know how long it takes for new products to become available in the uk educational store - the nus one? (ie, you can proceed to the checkout and pay for them, never mind the time for delivery)
best thread on macrumors
I really love this thread: it is so full of suspense. And it has been said before: there will always be a next tuesday, so it is always hot, this thread is.
So mod's, can't we keep this thread open indefinitely? perhaps I should register www.newibooksnexttuesday.com...
just one hour more (45 minutes by my nntp synched clock, to be precise)

tut tut... now you know it doesn't work that way, you have to wait till its at least 10:00am in the states, its still monday for them!
would i be safe in assuming that if no new ibooks are announced tomorrow, its almost certain that they will not be announced at all?
should I buy wednesday or wait till saturday/sunday?
yeah, i need to decide by this thursday pretty much i guess.
i miss out on a 70 discount if i decide to gamble and wait til next tuesday, since I leave the country that night.
is it safe to assume that I won't be getting a new ibook even if it is updated, as in it won't be in the store by next tuesday even if it is updated, right?

Well, never thought this thread I started would turn into this.
However think about it. An update for the iBook (and possibly Powerbooks) tommorow would be perfect. Now that the crazy news is out about a switch to Intel is out and people have become very scared of buying a Mac now, wouldn't it make perfect sense to release new hardware tommorow? It will sort of reinstill consumer confidence that the PowerPC line of computers still has life left and make people sort of forget about today's news. Even if people aren't buying these laptops and buying a desktop like an iMac it will show that Apple still hasn't abondoned development of the current processors and that these current products are not obsolete (yet). As I said it is the perfect way for Apple to try and recover lost hardware sales from today's news.

Is there any chane of ibook updates happening tomorrow with shipping times still Same business day?
All this complex stuff is annoying. Talk about stopping people switching. I dont want to buy a computer that is going to be out of date in one years time.
I buy computers to last a long time.
I'll just out and buy a dell that doesnt have so maybe ifs buts and maybes.
I'll just have to learn to type on the small keyboard of the 700m
