[Ti] G5 powerbook: any educated guesses out there?

[Corey Knafelz]

Looks like there may be one more round of G4 Powerbooks.

"That gives Apple time to beef up its existing PowerBook G4 line one last
time before switching to the G5 - a distinct possibility now that IBM has
got the 90nm version out the door."
