just because there have been false rumors in the past doesn't mean that updates are never coming. This is as good a time as any. But there will *not* be powerbook G5s, so if you have to complain, let's get that out of the way now so that we can all enjoy the updated G4s next week.

My guess is their source is Appleinsider :)
Probably the only constant rumor mongering website during the last few months. They must be working overtime to supply the whole net with nonsenses :D

Errr ... couldn't their sources be the other apple sites like here, appleinsider, etc? :P
Still, I'm looking forward to what comes out next week now.

I have a feeling this is the same rumor just propegating.
Regardless, lets hope its true. Also, lets hope they put a better screen on the some of the iBook models.

I wonder if the superdrive "option" is going to go away on any of the 'books. The combo drive wasn't an option on the 17" powerbook - are we moving toward the superdrive being a baseline feature?
Personally, I'd like the option to stay, as I have a DVD burner in my desktop and could have saved the $$$, but the same must have been said for CD-RW drives years back....

Maybe Apple will surprise with a PowerBook G5 somehow. Apple surprised us with the G5 and 12" & 17" PowerBooks, maybe they will surprise us again... Or maybe Steve will announce some crap, and no one will clap, like the somewhat embarassing iPod mini price announcement moment. Apple does surprise, though, maybe this time's not the time? But I sure hope it is.

Yes, in fact we are.
In the next revision of the powermac Apple will introduce the super-duper drive. (By duper, I mean dual layer.) :D
New books? No way, never happen, not now at least. How about a display? How about a PM?
