What Appletalk is reporting will be at WWDC
- iBook will have 1.33 and 1.5 Ghz processors, standard with 512 mb ram, no video card improvement.
- Mac mini is to be given the same specs as the new version iBook
- An Apple 4 button Pro Scroll mouse
- The 12" PowerBook will come with an extra ram slot (so that will make 2 instead of one)
- Asteroid will be a game available on iPod Photo

I like the upgrade of the iBooks as I may soon be in the market for one.

At a developer forum?
A consumer laptop and bottom-of-the-line desktop bump, a mouse, a ram slot, and a game for digital music player??? Doesn't sound too worthwhile for the thousands a developer may shell out to get a glimpse of a keynote.

I never said they were anywhere near right, but it was the first site I had seen actually making a prediction.
The problem is that what they say does not make sense. There is no chance Apple will let this Radeon 9200 in the iBook and Mac mini in an update occuring after Tiger's release. They would replace it with at least a Geforce 5200, which is the bare minimum for the new graphics technologies in Tiger. Second, that kind of update for WWDC? From those alone I say bull.

..and they'll release a Firewire audio interface called "Tetris".
1.) 1st Button, normal left click
2.) 2nd Button, right click
3.) 3rd Button Expose
4.) 4th Button Dashboard

i've heard rumors of a multi-button mouse from apple for some time now. The debate is whether they should keep the one button mouse to force programmers to not take shortcuts. Well, if they released a multi-button mouse, and kept the one button, I don't think it would be a problem. Four does seem like a logical fit too, and if Apple doesn't relase it, maybe I will get a four button for these four reasons:
1.) 1st Button, normal left click
2.) 2nd Button, right click
3.) 3rd Button Expose
4.) 4th Button Dashboard
Consider the move to a laptop machine.
You are not going to be able to easily pull out and plug in a mouse (in some locations, it will just be impossible) ? be it a 1-button, 2-button OR 4-button mouse. This is one of many reasons the keyboard hotkeys (Shift, Control, Option, Command...), functioning in conjuction with those mouse clicks, will obviously come in more handy than a 4 button mouse. Apple will not release a 4-button mouse. It would be to incongruous moving back and forth between desktop computing and mobile computing, it is not simple and ultimately not as productive.

That is true...I guess I will stick to the 1 button....never had a problem before. I actually prefer the keyboard instead of a right click when I am gaming.
And I also won't buy a Mini until they improve the graphics card and make 512Mb RAM standard.
