Motorola and PowerBook, iMac Delays
According to the rumor site, Apple's release of PowerBook updates has been hampered by Motorola's inability to produce enough PowerPC 7457's. Similar claims have recently been made by MacBidouille
Appleinsider claims that initial plans for a PowerBook launch fell on WWDC, but has been repeatedly delayed. The site also mentions plans for an iMac revision, which was recently suggested by LoopRumors.
Both PowerBooks and iMacs are nearing the end of their product cycles -- as shown in our Buyer's Guide.

I'm all ready to order a 17" Notebook.
Arn, what is up with the buyers guide? Isn't this like the 3rd time the PowerBook has approached the end of its cycle? I know this has been a very hard product to get a hold on, but I thought the Buyers Guide had rules, so that the day a product went over the average update time, it would say don't buy. But I guess that simply isn't true.

After Apple *finally* gets the PowerBook G4 and iMacs updated, Apple needs to aggressively plan to ditch G4 completely, whether that means staying at G3 or upgrading to G5.
Then Apple needs to deal exclusively with IBM for both G3 and G5 chips, and give Motorola the same finger Motorola gave Apple at the end of the clone wars...
