What happened to the PB 17" HD?
I've been holding off on purchasing my new laptop, while I wait for the fabled higher-resolution 17" PB. It's now 4 months since Apple themselves leaked mention of this screen option in the user manual and I'm still waiting.
Now I'm in a quandry. I do need to upgrade from the 12" PB I'm currently using. The only reason I would move up to a 17" PB is if it had this higher-res screen. I've been looking at the 15", which is the right size, but I always come back to the screen resolution as the one (lacking) feature that holds me back. I would be able to look past the physical size of the 17" PB if it had the higher density display.
This is mostly a vent, but I'm also curious if anyone has heard anything further on the 1920x1400 17" PB. So?
(Before anyone starts on 'Squintronics?' ... my vision can handle it.)

I wonder if there will be an HD iMac too?
I don't see Apple introducing new Powerbooks in the holyday season, but of course I could be wrong...

I hope they get the powerbooks before they do anything more to the iMacs, as powerbook sales are as gruesome as they are.
...and you're not the only one hoping either
