1) Apple has never, AFAIK, upgraded everything all at once.
2) More importantly, they were forced to make a choice between seeing if Moto can get a new chip fabbed, or going primarily dual (again). Apple hates to guess on Moto (g4 intro disaster), so they opted to wait and see.
3) Any announcement of new Powermacs would have stolen attention away from their new iMac roll out. Hype is about staying on message, not spreading the message thin. Remember, the keynotes aren't directed at the faithful, they are directed at others, who probably don't think about Apple more than once or twice a year.
So, I'd suspect that MWTK, which has gained importance in the past few years as 'the show that gets all of the stuff that wasn't ready or couldn't be crammed into MWSF' will be the proshow.
After all, the 14" iBook starts to encroach on TiBook land, so the way to increase the space BETWEEN the iBook and the TiBook would be to increase the space ON the TiBook (screen).
And the Japanese love their portables!

My signature irritates people. However, my cat can still jump a watermelon, and the Apollo is the next chip coming to the Powermac line. Although, at this point, I'd believe that Cyrix is the next...
