Of course, what could happen as some are predicting, that there will be NO PB announcements at MWNY of ANY kind. I hope so, because then I will expect SJ to announce the G5 PB (all of them) along with the xserve at Paris in September. iBooks a…

Quote: Originally posted by Rolo Motorola said they're moving up production of the '57 to Q3 from their original thinking of Q4. Maybe they had some big customer egging them on. As for G5 PBs, January at the very earliest. We've been led to …

Oh well, I was looking forward to upgrading my Ti400 to a G5 PB!. Looks like the 15.4 Al will most likely now be G4. But Im curious, I know the 7457 is not due in qauntity until Q4 03!, Well thats Oct-Dec 03. Maybe Apple will keep the PB's G4…

I think this thread is relevent, because of Apple's obvious delay in updating the 15". I would like to see ALL the PowerBooks speed bumped - along with an Al 15". A 1.3G 7457 would be nice, and at 10W (1GHz), looks like we will see a DP 17". …

This is MY take on the situation, and I guessed right for WWDC. Some people are suggesting that the 970 will MAX out at 2-2.5GHz - absolute horseshit!. In fact it has been reported that the 970 will indeed reach speeds of 2.5GHz on its current 0…

If this is true, then its more than likely it will be a G4 upgrade. If the powerbooks were to be announced as G5's then it would be a published 'apple event' webcast?, although i doubt SJ would miss up the opportunity to showcase the worlds fast…

The G4 is a great 32bit chip, especially now it can be left to the 'Consumer' range. The 7457 should be able to fix its scaling issues, with Motorola committed to at least improving it. The 970 being a 64bit chip, hopefully will sit only in the '…

Quote: Originally posted by spankalee I seriously doubt that Motorola is going away. Apple would be wise to have two PPC suppliers, regardless of any bad feelings about the G4. I remember reading recently about Motorola rolling out the 7457 s…

Quote: Originally posted by kingl Product matrix be damned, isn't it possible for Apple to create a third, super-high-end G5 Powerbook? This allows for both the 970 in a portable format and the gradual transition of the iBooks and Powerbooks to …

Im feeling like the PowerBooks will indeed get the 970's, where the 17" will get a DP 970!. The 12's and 15's will remain SP. As far as I know the 7457 have been announced by Moto as in production. This will allow the G4 to scale higher for the…
-
I still believe Apple will NEED a 32bit low power G4 class CPU for the "consumer" range. Now if Moto can provide it,.. cough then fine, but the entire product line cannot move because the G4 is stuck where it is. The 970 will free the "Pro" line…

This is why I initiated the 970 iMac thread nearly a month ago, alot of the posts are spot on!. A 1.25 G4 iMac YAWN!. Ok, maybe the 1.42 G4 (7455) - could well be a decent stop gap until faster and cooler say by Jan 04 (7457's) if not earlier are…

The Apple looking Posters depicting this device looks REAL, anyway, note the SonyErricson label - Until I can see this phone in the flesh it doesnt quite match the screen size useability of the P800, JMHO!. Like the iPod, the iPhone to be success…

Im inclined to support the idea of a dual 970 17" PB. It would nicely differentiate it from the 15" and the 12". The form factor of the 17" certainly lends itself to this MB, but there are technical merits outstanding such as cooling. But as yo…
-
Firstly, Im a little suprised that the 15" did not move to Al sooner, most likely due to little spec upgrade for the effort and cost of upgarding the existing 15" production. Also, Apple waiting for volume production for the new 15.4" panels. Bu…

Im still sceptical that the 970 PMac would be released in May, Apple themselves believe there is HUGE pent up demand for the next PMacs, so this could well be the build up necessary (for once) to satisfy this demand upon announcement. Unless this…
