I think you're reading way too much into this. The guy (or gal) is probably not remotely interested in the details of USB and just happened to know it wasn't being upgraded to 2, hence assumes its still 1. If you'd asked me I wouldn't have been able to tell you which version of USB 1.x was current.
Notice how there is nothing about a case redesign, which I'm sure would be necessary to hold stuff such as the new "Optical port," whatever that is.
optical ports are not big, nor do they require a new case, they are the same size as headphone ports. They are used as digital out for DVD's. They are becoming Standard on high end systems, kind of like component video out. They also can be used for firewire 2 connections
hmmm, this smells funny, one thing I'm thinking stands out is 1.8 g5s AND 1.8 g4s
two things, I HIGHLY doubt apple would release a g5 that had a g4 too match its speed, that is initially release, they have done same mhz with diff cpus before, but usually only when they HAVE to.
secondly 1.6 has been the biggest rumored top speed, now perhaps moto all of a sudden started churning out wafer and wafer of 1.8 chips(or rather wafers with ALOT of 1.8s)
that would be strange, but it is not THAT far fetched, at least not for the g5.
the g4 is SUPPOSED to cap out at just over 1 ghz, though there has been alot of talk of 1.2 1.4 and even 1.6....stating 1.8 seems very unreasonanble..
also the source of this info is questionable...a secret hotline server?
well maybe large companies use hotline, but I would think that apple would have their own peer to peer sharing/chat client/network setup.
unless of course this was on the apple workers down time, but then why would he be in a secret apple server for hotline???
oh well, a 1.8 ghz g5 with ddr and twin view geforce3would DEFINATLY be welcome
I have no reason to believe these specs (anybody not "in the know" could have just made them up), but some of your criticisms aren't necessarily valid...

The Pro machines described listed FireWire 2 -- there's no reason to think that the iMac wouldn't get it as well since the cost of putting it shouldn't differ appreciably from the cost of putting in FireWire 1.

The Apollo should be in full production by then, possibly on a smaller process. This will allow low speed (i.e. sub-GHz) G4s to run with low power/heat characteristics. I think Apple will want to move to all AltiVec enabled chips as soon as possible.

It was a quote from Motorola that mentioned the possiblity of pushing the Apollo as high as 1.8 GHz. I'd question the timeframe, but who knows -- if the process shrink and SOI, combine with the tweaks to the Apollo's design... who knows?

No, the TiBook uses cylindrical Lithium Ion cells. The iPod uses a flat rectangular Lithium polymer cell. I remember reading that they wanted to get Lithium polymer into the TiBook, but it didn't happen. (I've seen the X-rays.)

If the speed difference between G4 and G5 is as great as alluded to in the rumours, then having the Pro laptop at the same clock rate as the Pro desktop wouldn't be a "problem" for Apple. After all, their margin on laptops is pretty good.
Seeing a 1.8 GHz G4 mid-year is definitely pushing credibility, but clock rates for shipping systems are highly subject to change until just before shipping. I wouldn't read too much into it either way. The rumours have mentioned G5s clocking as high as 2.4 GHz, so if they are to be believed and the yields have been good then perhaps a 1.8 GHz G5 is possible.
The original posting just said that it was posted by an Apple employee on a secret hotline server -- it didn't say it was an Apple hotline server. Indeed, that wouldn't make any sense at all, would it? On the other hand, people often have a need to share secrets so I wouldn't be surprised by a mole at Apple using some kind of an underground hotline server to leak out a few details. If he is one of the several hundred people in the hardware development, or QA groups then he may have seen the rollout plans for the next six months. Steve Jobs' "keep your mouths shut" email clearly demonstrates that there are people at Apple who know what they are actually building.
My point continues to be that picking this apart is about as useless as believing in it. <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

So you think that G4 ibooks are technologically practical? Even if so,
1. I think there speed would be too close to the Tibook's for comfort if they were Apollo's, especially if we trust the posters speeds of current plus up to 200 Mhz for the Tibook.
2.I think Apple will switch the entire line when it does...i don't think it will be selling both the iBook g3 and ibook g4 at the same time.
However, I've been wondering what the extra space gained in the base in the iBook is used for when then screen size is increased to 14" (the base is made bigger to match, I believe). Maybe it will be used for G4 heat dissipation.

It's not an Apple hotline server nor a secret, it's just a private server where I guess an Apple employee was at, according to the original poster. (private to protect the server admin from getting busted for warez, I'm sure)
I think G5s will be here by April or May, but this source is ridiculous. Who converses with someone by spouting off future computer specs? And these specs are far too detailed to be accurate at this time. Even those in charge at Apple don't know the specifics of new systems this far in advance. The amount of RAM bundled and stuff like that usually depends on the price that Apple can get wholesale.
The G5 speeds are believable, but the G4 speeds, no way. No chance in hell of a 1.8 GHz G4. I can believe Motorola jumping from 867 to 1.8 GHz with a new chip architecture, but not on a G4.
What's SOI give a chip, 20-30% increase in MHz? A 30% increase from 867 MHz would be 1.1 GHz.
But I do think G5 powermacs are on the way. I just doubt the validity of this particular rumor. My bet is on for this having been concocted up inside someone's head, based on the info they read at rumor sites.
No, the TiBook uses cylindrical Lithium Ion cells. The iPod uses a flat rectangular Lithium polymer cell. I remember reading that they wanted to get Lithium polymer into the TiBook, but it didn't happen. (I've seen the X-rays.)

You're right, the Tibook does use Lithium ion batteries. However, I doubt that they could manage 8-12 hours even with Apollos and Lithium polymer cells.
A MacWorld story on the state of the PowerPC back in 1/2000. This is right after the entire fiasco of the downshift in speed of the G4. Even at that point, Motorola was talking about a G5 and trying to cut it's losses on the G4 line.
guess i'll be selling my new iMac LCD 800 MHz superdrive in march for that bottom line PM <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
$1699 for all that? hope it's true for my pro friends here (and the gamers), but doesn't seem likely...guess we'll know in 2 months...maybe i can just get a apple for every room in the house...

It said Moto planned to have the G5 at 2ghz 2 years from then, Jan 1st 2000. So it's been 2 years, and I won't even be greedy and ask for 2.0ghz, just a 1.5ghz as long as it's a G5

Quite right, I missed that. The "radeon level" was in reference to the iBook upgrade. Hmmm... well I'm sure a Radeon2 Mobility will arrive eventually, but based on ATI's track record I'm skeptical about a summer release.
JD's comment about the spec's being overly accurate would be true if the release date was April or May, but this claims a late Feb intro date, and that's only a month away which is not unreasonable. So at least it is self-consistent, if not entirely convincing.
