I agree. Jobs is not going to come up short in front of the developers he's so desperately trying to keep and add to. He'll play it up, he'll make us nervous, and he'll hit 3 or 3.2. I think we'll hear the 100 million iTunes mark and, if we see a new iPod to mark the occasion, we'll even get a performance by an artist of a song or two. Again, I know this isn't MacWorld, Expo, or a music event, but Steve wants to put on a great show for his developers and lure more people to come every year. I was there last year and I decided back then that I *needed* to be there this year...just like I *need* a 3GHz+ Mac!
I won't be able to wait any longer. If he announces 3GHz, its all mine. If he doesn't, maybe I'll get a current model cheap, if the price is good enough, and then turn it into my new test server when 3GHz does come around.
If he *really* wants to blow the roof off the joint, go PowerBook G5, one 15" and one 17", in the 1.5GHz - 1.6GHz range. I say that now, but they did go from 1.42GHz G4 to 2.0GHz G5 in one jump, its just harder to do that in laptop form.
