new iBook spec.
According to rumors, the new iBook will be:
first batch is G3 700/800, the second batch is G3 900, all CPUs come with 512K L2 cache and all are using PC100 SDRAM. The 12.1" iBook uses radeon 7500 mobility as the graphic chip, graphics memory is 16 MB and the 14.1" iBook has 16 or 32 MB graphic memory.

One iBook cannot be "700/800." It's either 700 OR 800. When are these 900s coming out?
And do you think true (no hacking) video spanning be available?
<strong>*IF* there's a 13-inch widescreen iBook to be had, it *must* have a G4 to be cool. Otherwise, it's kind of lame. Again, as I noted in another thread, Seanyepez from the MacNN forums said his sources told him those iBooks would have G4 processsors. The low-end at 600 MHz; the high-end 733 with a 133 bus.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Disappointing. I would rather have a 1GHz G3 iBook with 6 hours battery life than a 600MHz G4 iBook with 3 hours battery life.
<strong>Where did you get these specs from???</strong><hr></blockquote>
From the guy who says he knows the information of Apple iBook OEM companies in Taiwan, I, myself do not know if this spec. is true or false, I just share the rumor I've heard of.
