Your MWNY Predictions
Mine are:
iMac jacked up to either 900MHz or 1GHz.
iBook jacked up to 700-800MHz maybe even a G3 (probably be before MWNY.)
PowerBook jacked up to 733-867MHz, decent graphics card, 40GB standard and 60GB BTO (also probably be before MWNY.)
PowerMac G5 released at 1.4GHz top speed, DDR RAM, fast bus, Gigawire, slightly new iteration of SuperDrive.
All will have built in bluetooth
Mac OS X 10.2 release.
iPhoto 1.x
AppleWorks 7.

Comments
I'll be a bit general but maybe a bit more specific later
PowerMac update
Mac OS X 10.2
iMovie 3
iPhoto 2
New device
end of show
MWNY will see a modest speed bumps to the G4 line. Something like 1 Ghz, 1.2, 1.4 perhaps w/ a revised mb packed w/some of the G5 features on it. In otherwords, a super G4 to go out in a bang.

Wow maybe a G3
I suppose you meant maybe a G4?

already? it's 3.5 months away
A Note On Another Matter:
Wait until the week before when all the crazy fvckers start up with all there G5 mumbo jumbo (that's not going to happen), and start writing down their names so we can give them total shit after words for spreading that false crap around.
That's what I'm going to do. I'm never going to stop saying that these individuals are false rumor spreaders.
I'm tired of reading their crap before every show, and then watching them bitch about their own rumor not comming true every fvcking time.
It's rediculous.
<strong>It's hard to make preictions for it because I think the chances of hardware updates occuring between now and then are quite good for some products.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Okay let's make it from here to MWNY not just MWNY.

Yea my bad.

<strong>It's too early to reasonably predict anything. I believe that the earlier poster (sory forgot who) is right on in the statement that there will be a few updates to some lines before then.

I think I'm going to have to spend that week in a hole.
1.) Powerbook G4 update with the specs I mentioned in the other powerbook thread (800Mhz, radeon 7500, higher res, etc)
2.) iBook update. I'm really split. I don't know if they are going to go G4. My guess would be no but I can see them going G4 as well. I'm going to have to say 700Mhz G3 with radeon are going to be the big changes
3.) iMac prices cut (possibly lower than original prices)
4.) iMovie 3
5.) OS X 10.2
6.) DVD Studio Pro 1.5/2 (whatever they decide to call it)
7.) Possible speedbump of powermacs to 1.2Ghz but I strongly doubt it and think PowerMacs will wait for next generation chip at Seybold SF in August/September
8.) a new digital device (most likely a digital camera with 2GB toshiba 1.8inch drive)
Also hopefully they will bump the minimum RAM (DDR hopefully! to minimum 256 MB accross the board.

Oooo! Looky! Looky! A Troll!
I waited for "Beyond the Rumor Sites...Way Beyond" and what did we get?
A 133MHz speed bump to the towers...wow...
I expected a leap in the towers on the same order of the new iMac. We SHOULD be using 1.2/1.4/1.6 GHz G5s NOW!!!

2. OS X 10.2
3. minor speedbumps for the TiBook
4. minor speedbumps for the iBook
The tower is really way overdue for a redesign more than any other product in the matrix. It has the same basic design as the B&W G3 from 1998. Apple has been very predictable these days. They will never release two redesigned products at the same time, lest they cannibalize sales.
faster Powerbooks (667 - 800 MHz) - this is a gimme
G4 iBooks (700 MHz) - why not? Everything else has one.
Powermac stays at 1 GHz - the G4 is at the end of its rope IMO
iMac stays at 800 MHz - production problems solved, prices lowered to original levels as supply problems ease
some other Digital Hub iDevice

[ 03-27-2002: Message edited by: There is no g5 ]</p>
iBook 700 MHz G3, 30 GB HD, 256 MB RAM, no change to video card
iMac 700-1Ghz, 60-80 GB, 256 MB, same screen, same video card, no price drop
PM 1.0 to 1.4 GHZ, larger HDs, faster bus maybe, no other changes
iPod no changes, no price drop
iTunes, iMovie, iDVD 3.0
iPhoto 2.0
OS 10.2
<strong>Whenever the PM goes G5, I would bet that eiterh a few eeeks prior to that or at the same event, is when the iBook will go G3. With OSX as the boot-up OS, and since it is designed to take advantage of G4 (and greater I assume) I think they want to move forward ASAP. OSX runs fine on my machine, but I am sure a G4 would fly...
Also hopefully they will bump the minimum RAM (DDR hopefully! to minimum 256 MB accross the board.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I suppose you meant G4 as well
<strong>G5 Pleezepleezepleeze!!!!

July: PowerMac gets revised G4 to 1.2 Ghz, new mobo
September: iMac revision, 1Ghz Apollos
