PowerBooks, iMacs, PowerMacs

Here's our weekly PowerBook rumor. :p

Looks like rumor recycling to me, especially this one:

Also mentioned is the announcement of a "creative sound" iApp... a rumor that has also seen many previous incarnations.

Might well be that this one is a piece of misunderstood information that actually related to Soundtrack.

The G5 part doesn't work, for me. Sure, Apple has provided small speed bumps like this in the past, but that's only because Moto gave them no choice. I wouldn't even bother with a 10% speed bump. I think the Jan/Feb timing is probable, but the high-end will be 2.5 GHz or so, and the low-end will move up to 2.0 GHz. Just guessing, of course.

That's what I assumed too, BUT a free or less expensive music making iapp would be welcomed ;)

I very much agree. Given that there is usually PowerMac updates every 6 months, then in order to get to 3.0ghz next year, 2.4 - 2.6 ghz would most likely be the next update.

wait a sec, where are the iMac rumors in ths? is it the new G4 chips?

Let's hope Steve isn't sitting there going "hehehe - and they don't even realise that PB's aren't coming until this time next year ..." :(

A simple music making/mixing iApp would be cool, and it'd be a great PR opportunity for Apple. Since iMovie, iTunes, iPhoto, and iDVD all have PC incarnations, something new would really help the whole "iApp"/"iLife" thing look good.

That said, it does look like a bit of a Soundtrack-related rumor.
