Actually, they had a small update at the bottom, not sure of the date.

Update #1 Something seems to be happening on the PowerBook front, at any rate. One reseller was told this week that his order for a number of 15in PowerBooks was cancelled by Apple, notification of which was appended with a comment that he should wait until Monday...
I am with Omek, though "There'd better be an update of the PB 15" I'd be happy with a back-lit keyboard and 15.4 screen." Otherwise, I've got to skip another generation.
I really want the update too. But as the the magic 8-ball says,"Ask again later" It seems unlikely give the utter lack of credible information out there. Either Apple has got most of the world under NDAs or there is no secret to protect (as of yet.) I just don't see enough movement in the product line to justify an update. Please let me be wrong.
After our leak from a month ago, It doesn't surprise me that we haven't heard anything. I need a PB. Soon. I am starting school in Computer sciences in 6 weeks and aside from the fact that I am at least 6 months overdue for a new comp I have other things to consider. We know apple is big in the education market and that many people are out there to buy PB's in july-august. I think we will get an update tomorrow and they will ship within the next four weeks. Then again, I may just have to run Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Final cut on the current 15
[B]I think he was referring to the extensive article on the G5 posted up by Architosh (which I'm still trying to find on their site).
Whats interesting is later in the article they predict a roadmap for 970 adoption which *begins* with the 1.8 GHz G5(970) released at MWSF 2004!
Now, some may argue that it will be nearly 2004 before most have their G5s in hand, but still... it's interesting to see how Apple beat at least some expectations after the 'letdown' of MWSF and NY of 2002.
Since it seems Joswiak's presentation will not be webcast will someone be posting live updates?
with any luck I will be there.... and if I can find a suitable power outlet I will be posting live updates to the AI chatroom like I did for the WWDC keynote at the SoHo store...
Apple announces that it has accumulated a 6 month backlog in dual 2GHz G5 orders, and as result it doubles the price of the dual G5 effective immediately. The price will be reduced back to normal when the backlog dissipates.
Apple announces that due to an extremely low number of orders for 1.6GHz G5 machines the product will be discontinued before it even starts shipping. This will allow shifting additional manufacturing capacity to the dual 2GHz G5 machine.
What would happen to all the rumour sites though if/when a 15" Albook is introduced? I mean what would they talk about. This 15" stuff has been a real boon the the rumour comunity!

biggest boon of the last 2 years was and is the G5, but there is still a lot left:
- ibookIII... and will it have a 14.1" screen or a 13.3", 14.1", 15.4"widescreen...
- cinema displays
- xserve G5
- imacII update (G4/7457)
- imacII G5
- pb12" and pb17"revB (G4/7457)
- pb12" pb15" and pb17" G5
- ipod IV
- powermac G5 revB
- powermac minitower/cube II
- tablet mac
- the 20th anniversary mac.
probally i forgot something, but this is what i can think of right now
[edit]
and offcourse i forgot to add my prediction or expectations for mwny 2003:
and that's zero... no new hardware
(if i'm wrong, so be it, i don't know jack and i won't promise to do something to myself like JYD did)

I was thinking about this. Once I get my new PB I can actually go back to doing useful work instead of scanning the rumor sights.

Maybe it won't be such a big announcement.

Does anyone been there that could possible tell us if any kind of hardware/software will updated or released?
Any leaks?
