HA! HA! HA!
As the rumor of the ultra-thin iBooks is making the rounds, I thought we could start our own discussion on it. Personally, the thing that caught my eye in the story was the mention of the PB G5s shipping alongside the ultra-thins. If the two rumored speed increases in the current iBook line (going to 1.25 and 1.5 Ghz) are true, that would be next year at the earliest.
Which means it's unlikely that the G5 PBs will see the light of the day in 2004.
That said, if the rumors are true, it would surely give a third round of life to the venerable iBook line, and truly make it attractive to students and a viable alternative to the PowerBooks, especially since the G5s are likely to be a hot thing (pun hopefully not intended).
I would hope Apple would keep a basic iBook at a bargain price as an option for those on a budget (I'm thinking older folks who aren't that tech savvy as well).
Thoughts?
