No PowerMacs in February?
ThinkSecret updates with a number of small blurbs... the most interesting of which involves some information of PowerMac G5 updates.
According to the rumor site, while Apple has received PowerPC 970FX chips from IBM for "a number of weeks", PowerMac G5 upgrades are not expected during the month of February.
Steve Jobs had last announced that PowerMac G5s would reach 3GHz "before the end of next summer [2004]".

That is fine. This means I still have the fastest Powermac G5 on the planet. I purchased it about 5 months ago.

They'll be due in early March will they not?? 6 months is usually a good guide for an update, and since the G5 didn't actually start shipping till early Sept, March is around the update window...
It just seems like a long time since they were updated as they were initially announced in June, but they didn't actually ship till months later.
I personally was hoping that we'd see more frequents updates, every 3-4 months, but then you'd get the folks winjin' about only having the 'best' machine for 3 months etc etc :eek: :rolleyes: :p

They really do need an update in between 2-3ghz, if they don't update until summer that will have been a year, and that will piss a lot of people off! We know IBM can churn these things out fast so update them as frequently as possible!

Still think March will be the time. History shows thats when those new products are shipping so nothing new except not announcing it.
What i find interesting was the article of Europe's Mac publications being as light as a feather. Our own magazines are getting pretty light. this is a direct reflection of Marketshare. Face it for every 100 computers sold maybe 3 are Macs. How long will it take for Apple to get back into the consumer computer market?

Fine by me, I'm waiting for iBook and PowerBook updates. I wonder if ThinkSecret's crystal ball has any info on that?

a 2.5GHz update in early march and then the 3GHz update in early september seems reasonable enough, and fits the 6 month product life-cycle and steve's proclamation.

As long as they are @ 3Ghz on time (especially since Steve NEVER PROMISED incremental updates in between!) I'm okay.
