Limited PowerMac Availability? No PowerBooks?
One AppleInsider.com thread indicates that Low End PPC970 PowerMacs will be immediately available at WWDC... while mid and high end range machines will be delayed for approximately 5 weeks.
Meanwhile, according to the post, 15" PowerBook updates are not expected at WWDC.
Shipping low-end PowerMacs would be consistent with previous rumors from MacBidouille. If you believe their early reports, they claim 1.4GHz machines were in production in May, 2003 -- and would presumably be the "Low End" versions.
PowerBook update rumors have been ongoing for months... with vague hints (and not so vague hints) at impending updates.
Addendum: Meanwhile, MacBidouille posts an unconfirmed rumor that states just the Top End PowerMac will not ship immedately (translation by MacCoaster):
- The PPC 970 Power Macs should be available as soon as their announcement at the WWDC except for the High end model which needs two more weeks. They should arrive to the distributors in the weekend.
Not much longer... :)

low end 970 would hopefully be low enough to where i could try and pull together the money to pick one up.
this would be nice if it were true, but i dont give full trust in any of the rumors regarding the 970 and wwdc

I'm going to go crazy if they don't update the PB soon... I've been waiting FOREVER for a new 15"!

Seems good to me. Very logical. Low end ships immediately, and the high end in the infamous 6 to 8 week time frame.
The lack of PowerBooks does not surprise me, as I did not expect them anyway.
Nothing earth shattering yet......we'll see on Monday.

Well we all know that there should be an update sometime soon. Since the 15"s haven't been updated in over 6 months... it's due. Perhaps MWNY?

As long as they release some kind of 970 we should all be happy, even if the top models take a few weeks. Just knowing that they are in production will be good for Apple.
I would not be suprised not to see new PB's at WWDC, maybe we may see them at MWCE.
Keep your fingers crossed.:cool:

Hmmmm... I surely hope that if Apple releases the PowerMac with the PPC970 that they update the Powerbooks to the same specs. I wouldnt be very good if the powerbooks stay once more with the G4's... As it has been mentioned hundreds of times, on Monday we shall see...
