Widescreen iBooks?
Last month's Widescreen iBook rumor has resurfaced in a Think Secret article today saying that sources have confirmed an iBook update "very soon" and possibly today or this week.
The last iBook updates were nine months ago today, making this the longest-ever interval without updates. The article speculates, based on an unconfirmed tip, that the delay is a result of a change in form factor, to widescreen configurations.

How reliable is Think Secret?
They are pretty much spot on 99% of the time. Sometimes they have issues with the timing of product releases, but if they publish specs, you can bet that they are identical (or really close).

Apple likes to release products on Tuesday, and at an "even" hour, so we should be seeing them at 11am EST, 1pm, or 3pm. 5pm would be going a little too late, I think.

iBook 12.1" ship times in the UK store are 7 days which is much longer than usual.
I'd guess we may well be due a new iBook this week. A nice 13.1" widescreen iBook a little smaller than the current 12.1" overall would be very nice. Sony T2 or Fujitsu Lifebook kind of size.

Well, I would love to see it if they do. There has been a lack of new Mac developments in the past few months (Intel switch notwithstanding), and the laptop line is in need of updating.
