Yes, that's definitely true.  I work closely with an Apple reseller (I 
work for an Apple Authorized Service Provider), and I'm also employed 
by Apple themselves, though at a fairly low-level part-time position.  
I had no CLUE that we'd get new PowerBooks so soon, though I heard a 
speculative rumor (with no real evidence to back it up; aka a wild 
guess) probably 5 months ago suggesting that the Titanium form factor 
could become obsolete in the near future.  But from that guess, we 
expected any changes would either happen when the 1 GHz was released; 
so once that rev happened, we figured that it would probably stay the 
same way for a while.

Guess not.

Oh well, I've got a 17" on order anyway; I had a 15" 1 GHz on order, 
but it got delayed until January 10th for shipping right before the 
keynote...  I guess I'm glad of that!  :-)
