For moderate gaming and some Photoshop and 3D rendering, I think the iBook will be a fine machine for you. If you were to go toward doing more Photoshop or rendering, then I'd suggest the PowerBook.

I think you would be better off with a powerbook.
Screen spanning is one benefit of the power series over the i series
better graphics card as well if you hit a 15"
more ram
faster processor
burn dvds
If you go the ibook the 933 is regarded as a better buy than the 1ghz because of the price difference / performance ratio
Whatever you get, get a minimum 512MB of ram
Powerbook stocks are almost ZERO at Amazon.
UPDATES TUESDAY
(Hell if there won't be powermacs, then at least there'll be powerbooks.)

They are COMING! Powerbooks are COMING!
Look here:
The wait for new 12" 1GHz PowerBook G4/Combos moved from 'Same Day' delivery to 7-10 days this Saturday morning at The Apple Store.
Congrats to everyone.
The wait is over.
Getting my Powerbook by Friday, if they are available by then.

You know, I think that it might be better put as distinguishing fact and rumor. Rumors, after all, are where they start. Then time proves these rumors to be either fact or fiction. But everyone, typically, wants the rumors to be fact, so some people have trouble bearing in mind that the rumors have yet to be proven either fact or fiction.
Personally, I take the attitude that every rumor here is most likely fiction unless it's backed up by official announcements. (i.e. talking about the 970FX having heat problems in the the Power Macs is likely fiction, whereas talking about the heat output from the 970FX, as reported by IBM, is fact.)
Going this route results in some of rumors taken as fiction turning out to be fact. I see it as being better that way than to take something as fact and have it turn out to be fiction.
Even though a lot of what gets thrown around here is ultimately proven to be fiction, and should probably be considered such from the beginning, it's still fun to read it all, hoping and dreaming for the future.
Thanx
Thank you for your opinions on my dilema everyone!
i decided on a 12' pb so i can throw away my 1.8ghz 256mbram,40gb pc
Now just to wait for the updates so i can buy the old one on a price slash!
Lets see how long it will take this time and lets hope this rumor isnt wrong like the last 20 rumors on updates!

Don't listen to him. Ship times at the Apple store are usually not indicative of product updates. You have to look at stocks of resellers and all the stocks of resellers are almost at zero.
Don't forget that Arn told us that Apple is prepping new products for release.
Don't forget that 3 rumor sites are saying that powerbooks will be updates SOON.
Stay optimistic.
