Apple has released products on days other than Tuesdays. The last revision of the 15-inch PowerBook was done on a Wednesday. That's right! Wednesday, November 6th, as a matter of fact. It was supposed to be the 5th, but that day was Election Day, bad PR so they bumped it up a day to Wednesday. The previous revision prior to that was done on a Monday morning, along with the debut of the eMac.
Also, Think Secret, which is very accurate, said:

It's unclear when Apple plans to announce the upgrades, but one Apple retail source said the new 15-inch and 17-inch models are expected to arrive later this week.
Key wording there being "later this week."
Please don't get your hopes up, folks!
Think Secret nailed the iPod details before it came out, nailed the update to the last rev of the iBook, and details surrouding Mac OS X updates, and the iTMS. If you want to look back in the archives of Think Secret just to get the gist of how pretty accurate they are, only then will you have faith that new PowerBooks are very near!

Your post was worth your copy n' pasting from macforums in that it was worth your repeating Think Secret is better than must sites. But we should remember even though Think Secret got the date of the last 15ti announcement right they were dead wrong in saying bluetooth was a shoe-in and a superdrive wasn't. Also they got blindsided along with every other site by the 12 and 17 inchers' January announcements.
Whatever - I think the 15 will be updated this week but if anybody (eg Powerpage) speculated on specs, I wouldn't trust 'em.

Macrumors had the scoop several hours before the release, but that's neither here nor there.

Anyone else find the nature of the source slightly odd?
For what it's worth my local apple store got a whole bunch of current 15" laptops in this morning (Wednesday) after an Apple created hiatus. Opinion was that new versions might be due by timelines but there is no word and no new discoutn being given to get rid of what might soon be superceded stock.
Must you be educated about this "gentleman" who pawns his junk and spreads bogus information?
One word: MacTable.
Happy hunting.
Reminds me of the guy a couple years ago that put G5 as a requirement on some of his software so that he could get site hits, slickjack is about the same.
