Hmm. I've gotten two phone calls from Apple Sales trying to meet my powerbook needs since Tuesday morning, just before the Keynote Speech. I went in and configured a BTO 17" and saved it, ever since then, multiple calls and people trying to get me too buy. Has anyone else had this happen?
Maybe the new Powerbooks are ready, but they want to get rid of the leftovers before they release them.
Do you think that Apple will lower the price at all on the Powerbook if they update it? I am waiting to see if they will otherwise I am going to get an iBook which are much cheaper and basically (now) same specs.
It's not the 12" PB that needs scrapping, it's the 12" iBook, and the 14" for that matter, replacing both with a 14" widescreen iBook, would effectively give you the room of the 14" at the size and weight of the 12. PB's get G5's, so no overlap...

Congrats on the purchase. I'm hoping they release new ones very soon too, and I hope it is before they ship you yours! Good luck!

That depends on the nature of the update. If it's minor, the odds aren't bad. If it's major, not likely (but not impossible, either).
They do have to create a little more breathing room between the iBook and the PowerBook, for sure.
