It doesn't matter which you think it should go in for what ever reason. The G5 is still too hot for the iMac, or the PowerBook as it is right now. So arguing which one it's going in first is pointless at this time. But just to add fuel to the fire - When the G5 can run cool enough it will be in the PowerBook first. NO doubt.
There is the a pro line, and a consumer line. They have always gone in the pro line first. Even when Apple was having serious Moto-blow-ya problems they put it in the pro line fist because that's how it is.

Still to hot for the current iMac, but just an engineering exercise for the next. And we may see the 3G iMac sooner than you might think, onlooker, I do know know it doesn't matter what I think ~ nonetheless, I think we'll see a G5 in the next iMac before we will see it in the next Powerbook ~ by about 6 months.
The Quicktime link was posted in late December then removed a few days later. I'm sure it will be back tomorrow. We'll also start getting some photos of the floor and those mysterious boxes, etc. (Krispy Kreme doughnuts as well I'd think) on Monday. TechTV will have a recap on Tuesday during the afternoon. No live broadcast indicated as of now.
TechTV hasn't broadcast a MW in two years. It may be that Apple doesn't want them to. Satellite feeds were announced a few weeks ago and Apple Stores with screens will be showing the keynote.
CheapoPod will happen I am now suddenly convinced. Don´t know how, why or anything. Just had to set the record straight so I can keep up my 100% true prediction record
Cannot seem to find the Quicktime link for the keynote broadcast.
Don't want to be a downer, but maybe Apple isn't all that keen on many people seeing this keynote... I mean, consider these facts and possible implications:
1) It wasn't confirmed that Jobs was actually delivering the keynote until later than usual. Maybe they weren't sure the only product they have to announce (the miniPods) would be ready.
2) There is no obvious QuickTime stream in place yet.
3) There is no big MacWorld promotion at www.apple.com, no "you ain't seen nothin' yet", "9 days and counting" hype.
4) Apart from miniPods, the rumors of "new" products amount to software updates only. The rumor sites may be quiet NOT because Apple is good at keeping a secret, but there are no secrets to keep.
Being pessimistic, the keynote may only consist of progress reports (x million tunes downloaded, 500K G5s sold, 45% of sales were laptops, etc), iLife updates, and the cheaper 'Pod(s).
That last one may be moderating interesting from an "Apple is getting successful" point of view, but personally, as I've already been a buyer of a 1st gen iPod and a 3rd gen iPod, I could care less about a storage-challenged one, and care more about Mac news.
I very much hope I'm wrong, but as an Australian, I'm not going to be getting up at 4 am for this one. (Just hoping to read how wrong I was on front page news at breakfast!)
miniPod is credit card in size. Holds 10,000 songs and costs $249 for the largest size. Plus, new iApp. GarageBand. Music creation tool. Included in $99 updated iLife. Fact.
Comments
Of course, I could be wrong.
Thanks, Dr. L

I'm surprised too nothing's been posted at this late date. I guess we'll find out tomorrow (Monday).

How it was is not necessarily how it is.

Yeah, and what is up with that. Too cheap for a satellite feed?

Great, now I only need to get on a British Airways Flight to my nearest Apple Store.

Note, additionally, that Power Macs usually aren't introduced at Macworlds.
That's just bollocks.

You are trying to steal my thunder? MY THUNDER?
NOTE: I am sorry to have to have posted this, it was necessary...
NOW, Back to the Future (pun intended). Where is the quicktime link to the keynote stream? or the page?
