New iBooks, Mac minis and iPod shuffles at MWSF 2006?
ThinkSecret cites "reliable sources" in reporting that Apple plans on introducing new iBooks, Mac minis and iPod shuffles at Macworld San Francisco in January 2006.
Intel is expected to launch the dual-core version of Yonah -- its new notebook processor -- in January. Low-votage versions are expected to come in at 1.5GHz, 1.66GHz and 1.83GHz speeds, while the "performance" version will ship at 1.66GHz, 1.83GHz, 2.0GHz and 2.16GHz speeds.
ThinkSecret speculates that low-voltage 1.5GHz Yonah iBooks may see be announced in January, while "performance" Yonah procesors may come later in PowerBooks.
No further details about the Mac mini or iPod shuffle are available from the rumor site, although the 1GB iPod shuffle is presently out of stock at the Apple store.

Sounds like it could be an interesting January after all. I really am hoping for a Mac Mini DVR.

And my dad just bought a cheap Dell PC on his own accord ... just one more month until the Mac minis. Well more like just 3 more weeks. =/

Why wait on Powerbooks? If Apple updates the iBooks any more then they already are without touching the Powerbooks, then the iBooks will be better. Especially considering that the dual core Yonah's will be available in January, and they will surely blow the G4 away. I think that would make the Powerbook owners livid, and this better not be true. I didn't pay for a top-end laptop only to have it be blown out by the lower end line. *bullsh1t*80 months ago
How much faster would a dual core intel at 1.5Ghz be than a 1.5Ghz G4? Would that speed increase overshadow the Current P-book line?

Dualcore iBook Yonahs?? That will totally destroy the G4 powerbook performance wise. Doesnt make sense if there arent new dualcore powerbooks (perhaps the 8641D?) as well.

Well, since it's dual core, it would be twice as fast. :) And yes, given native x86 applications, they will run faster on a dual core Yonah then they will on a G4.80 months ago
