This is any different from any year lately? think you're right that it either have to be Intel-based Powerbooks or some elegant G4 final version with some extra pizzaz, to be compelling for those waiting for Intels. A strong case against early Intels is the lack of finished recompiled software. I think people that purchase powerbooks instead of iBooks do so because their software demand it. Rosetta won't solve everything and I'm not sure every vital application will be ready by early 2006.
