Intel PowerMacs? Apple Phone? MacBooks Ship Date?
Appleinsider reports on a report by UBS Investment Research who reportedly had a "sit-down" with Apple executives including Peter Oppenheimer, Ron Johnson and Phil Schiller.
As previously reported, Microsoft and Adobe's transition to Intel-native applications will take some time. Adobe's next major revisions are not expected until 2007. Meanwhile, UBS notes a "very positive reaction" to the MacBook Pro based on conversations with Apple and surveys. The remainder of the information appears speculative, with the usual expecations of "new consumer markets for iPod speakers and Apple branded cell-phones over the next year".
Meanwhile, several users note that the MacBook Pro's "ship date" at the Apple Store has changed from "February" to "2-3 weeks", which simply means that those who order today will not likely receive the MacBook Pro before March. The shipment of those waiting for their January orders of the MacBook Pro appears to be soon -- many were originally slated for shipping by the 7th of Feb, but appears to have been pushed to the 10th.
"Our research indicates that new Power Macs could be announced with Intel processors by September, but Apples Rosetta emulation software should still be needed to run Adobes major high-end applications like Photoshop at that time"

Analyst research/comments generally don't do too much for me. It's frequently hard to tell what's actually based in "research" and what's speculation.

September? Eh, we don't expect them til late anyway, plus it's hard to put much value into the prediction because it is so far away. Nothing much here.

Rosetta emulation for Adobe apps in September? I believe the punchline has officially been written for this joke.

Well Considering the Fact that they've been taking orders for a month already, it doesn't surprise me that people who order today won't see theirs until March.
Hopefully I'll see mine next week! Shipping between Feb. 10th and Feb. 15 is the latest i've heard.

I know it says "by september," which would mean anytime before then, but that is a lot later than I had expected. It is probably the smartest time to release them though, since it will allow the different pro-apps to become intel native/universal. I just still find it a little strange that the Mac Book Pro got released before the intel iBook (or was this because they will probably use single-processor chips which are not being produced yet?).
Anyways, I hope to be settled into a decent job around September since I'm graduating from college here in May, that way I can buy a nice Pro-Intel (powermac) machine.

Hopefully adobe will release CS3 closer to the 12 month mark than the 18 month mark.
Anyone else else have they're Calendar Count widget set to the ship date of the MacBook Pros?

Minor error: 3-4 weeks, not 2-3.
Thanks for the heads-up; I've been wanting to order a MacBook Pro for a while now, but I never got around to it (shamefull, I know).

Shipping January, really?

I'm with arn. Pure speculation. Which CAN be useful and interesting, but it's even less firm than rumor.
This latest "Apple phone" speculation doesn't make any more impression on me than the last 200 did this year and last.
