There's an interesting thread at MacNN where a number of normally very staid and sensible forum members are convinced that a G4 iBook is imminent.



Adding fuel to the fire: Ingram Micro has no iBooks in stock now, having just reduced its stock to 0.



Here's the latest page of the discussion, as it is quite long:

    G4 iBook is not going to happen before G5 iMac. G5 iMac is not going to happen before G5 PowerBook. G5 PowerBook is not going to happen before G5 PowerMac and / or G5 XServe.



    G5 is a general term "PowerPC Generation 5" that may or may not include the PPC 970.

    a 600 & 700 iBook does what if the iMac stay at 800 and 1.ghz G4? I don't see the logic behind your theory.

    I don't see why not. We currently have G4s in the PowerMac and iMac families. Sure, for now the PowerMac line is all dual, but for about 6 months we had single G4 iMacs and single G4 PowerMacs, with only one dual machine. Apple obviously doesn't differentiate lines by processor type.
