And your way is different to what exactly? This is the same stuff that has been put out endless dimes before. Lock!
It is Apple's stated schedule for the next release.

Those are nuttier and more out-to-lunch than Dr. Holistic's insane list of "10 Paris Predictions!" from a few weeks ago.
They fall - in the case of the iBook tablets and 30" display and PowerBook G5 by year's end" - into the "are you on crack?" category (we just went nearly a year with no PowerBook activity...and now, suddenly, Apple is going to release new, long-awaited G4 PowerBooks next week AND spiffy new G5 PowerBooks 2 months later?)
Or - in the case of "Panther by year's end and 2.5GHz G5 updates by March 2004" - into the "well, no shit! Tell us something we don't know" category.
FREE VW Bug with every "Super-Computer" G5 system you the home user sets up!
Just think how fast such programs as WORD and Apple works would run on the set up like Virgina Tech's!
"There is some thing we woulnd know!"
ps the bug still comes with free iPod too (BONUS)

I think these are the stupidest predictions I've ever heard.
No offense of course.
iPod software no
Powerbook upgrades (speed bumps) no
new iBooks... possibly in the form of tablets no
Within a couple months:
Powerbook G5's (it IS the year of the laptop) doubtful
By the end of the year:
Panther as mentioned by jouster we know this already
30 inch displays doubtful
Price drops all over the place not before xmas methinks
By March 2004:
Speed bumps perhaps: Dual 2.5 Ghz G5's doubtful seeing as though the current duals aren't shipping in quanity, dreaming here
Summer 2004:
G5 cube no, iMac, what at G5? no or eMac no
I understand that you are new, so welcome! But this kind of topic as you may have noticed has been done before and is a fast way to get people's back's up.

Wouldnt think so. Price's here in Denmark (And Europe generally..) are down 20% the last 12 months, due to the dollar....

Yes you are, but there are absolutely no reasens to open up a new thread to say them. That's what everyone else is trying to tell you!
Admins hate new threads like these.. They eat them for breakfast..

I'm a noob to these forums too but damn if I have a hell of a lot more common sense than to post even more idiotic predictions about something that's been beat up over and over again.
And yes I posted a prediction in another thread, but I did not START one.
