any news on updated ibooks?...
just wondering, since most people are excited about powermac updates, there doesnt seem to be any talk about ibooks.
i really want to get one, and i have someone lined up to buy my current laptop, but i'm so anxious and dont want to wait.
should i still wait or just buy the current ibook (12" w/combo - $999).

Give it a few more weeks - general consensus is that they will get a slight speed bump, or at the very least, 512Mb RAM. That's my opinion anyway.
hopefully there is some news soon, i dont want to lose my buyer for my current laptop.
might actually take a trip to dallas to get one from an apple store.
As for widescreen it would be nice, but I wouldn't count on it.
Same with the resolution upgrade.
Unless of course they decide that it's finally time for a new case in which case (heh) widescreen and better resolutions would be likely.
A speed bump and new GPU won't convince me to trade up from my 12" G3. I want something a little different. Here's to hoping.

My school just ordered three 14" iBooks. They required factory add ons like extra Ram and iWorks preinstalled. They were due to ship on 4/27 but we just got an email delaying the ship date to May 6th. <snip> Maybe the update is working its way through the channel and May 6th is when an updated version will be ready for delivery.
That just couldn't be. May 6 isn't a Tuesday!
Oh, er, today was a Wednesday and Apple announced new Power Macs. So much for Tuesdays.

Note that I said May 6th for DELIVERY...the mythical Tuesday, May 3rd could be when the iBook is RELEASED. I would never, ever assume that an Apple product could ever potentially or even possibly be released on any such day excepting Tuesday. Sunday shall be the countdown thus started, followed immediately by Monday, but nor should the countdown end on Monday, nay the releasse date must occur on Tuesday. Wednesday is totally unnacceptable...And THURSDAY IS RIGHT OUT! Tuesday is the day of the releasing....and the day of the releasing shall be Tuesday.

I posted this in another thread,
The last 6 releases (that I can recall) have NOT been on a tuesday.
Powermacs (rev a, rev b, rev c) all have been on a monday or wednesday.
LCD's... monday.
iMac g5... monday.
Powerbooks... wendesday.
It seems to me that apple releases on any day BUT tuesday any more.

The white dual-USB iBook was introduced on May 1, 2001 at an Apple special event.

Anyways, with the new iBooks on the verge (hopefully) of coming out, I'm biding my time. However, I'm growing impatient, and I wish they'd hurry up!
Anyway, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'll probably be back here asking for help exploring my brand new iBook within the next few weeks.

Welcome to the boards. I think an iBook will be a good first Mac, for just about anyone.
