[iBook] RE: Powerbook upgrades on the horizon?

[Chris Weinkauf]

Well there has been rumors of a new dual core G4 processor coming out 
soon that will allow for the power of two G4s to be condensed into one 
small chip. According to sources close to Apple, it will be quite a 
while before Apple releases a G5 PowerBook. They still haven't made the 
processor small or cool enough. Best bet is the dual core G4.

I'm finally ready to replace my iBook with a 12 inch powerbook.  I just
checked the London Drugs website (in Canada), and every powerbook model
is listed as out of stock.  Could this be a sign?  Has anyone heard if
a speed bump is coming up?
I know, I know, "if you always wait for a new model, you'll never get a
new computer."  I just have a hunch on this one.  It won't hurt me to
wait a month or two.
