Call me when they have NiN "vingles"...

My Powerbook G4 1.25 can't do realtime importing of HDV, I'd be surprised if a 1.5 could. I'm hoping for 2GHz Powerbooks at MWSF to make HDV usable.

My big fear is Apple messing up in the price or performance. They should in theory be comparable to Sony in price, but will they protect their margins? And will the 1" thin obsession mean no 2.1GHz Yonahs? I'd be quite happy with a Pismo sized fast …

Apple doesn't put IBM, ARM or Motorola on its products, so I see no reason why it will put Intel.
-
Now Rosetta does Altivec perhaps lack of x86 pro apps isn't an issue - a dual core 1.8GHz Yonah could perhaps throw a whole core at it. Plus, there's no reason to think all the Apple apps aren't already Universal Binaries, after all, OS X has been o…

A yonah ibook could out perform a G4 Powerbook, so my guess is both or neither.

Fox has dropped support for HD-DVD! That means no Star Wars on HD-DVD (amongst many others). Is this game over?

I'm totally sceptical on all these claims because I remember how phenominal the G5 was supposed to be. Claims of a clock-for-clock 2x - 4x improvement were quoted. A 1.4GHz G5 will be like a 3.2GHz G4, low power low heat etc etc. All of which ended …
