Powerbook G5 Hints? [Updated]

The Register posts a story about a small html reference on Apple's Powerbook site.

According to the news site, the following url reference appeared on Apple's Powerbook pages:


http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g5_powerbook


The reference was in an IMG tag, speculated to be a counter for Apple's various individual web pages. The reference was changed to apple_g4_powerbook shortly after the publishing of the story.

Rumors have placed a G4 Powerbook upgrade in the coming days/weeks.

[Update] The requirements section of Apple's 17" Apple Studio Display page says in French

Configuration requise: LApple Studio Display ncessite un PowerMacG5 avec un connecteur ADC ou un PowerBook G5 avec un port DVI vers ADC Apple

Meaning: The Apple Studio Display requires a Power Mac G5 with an ADC or a PowerBook G5 with a DVI port and an Apple DVI to ADC Adapter.

One day apple will finally have out the G5 powerbook, if they want to. I don't think the G5 offers benefits that a much less wattage freescale G4 couldn't produce.

That sound you are hearing is Steve Jobs tearing someone a new one.

Good news for all of us though.

I dobut it, for all we know it could be a template for the site. Thus it's used for G5 and G4 images. Not necessarily the laptops only.

I hope I'm wrong though like the rest of us!

There's been a lot of "typos" lately. This is the second "typo" about the PB G5. They're getting more and more beleivable each time.
