in which they said last month (August):

Apple Computer is believed to be prepping one final update to its PowerPC-based PowerBook G4 product line that could be unveiled at the end of next month, AppleInsider has learned...



Two new models that have shown up on radar are referenced as the PowerBook5,8 and the PowerBook5,9. Both Apple's current 15-inch and 17-inch PowerBook G4 systems identify themselves as the PowerBook5,7, with the 12-inch model being listed as a member of the iBook family (PowerBook6,8 ) ...



so I'm wondering what's happening with them? Was the tip that AI got unreliable? Is there some other reason why we haven't seen new PowerBooks yet?

    In AI's defense, it's not the end of the month yet. We might still see something on Tuesday the 27th.

    You cross posted this. Try not to do that please. It's confusing and calls for the response to be cross posted as well which shouldn't be necessary.
