iBook Updates Imminent?

ThinkSecret reports that Apple will be updating the iBook line "soon" with speeds up to 900Mhz.


    The new models will not have any new features or increases in memory or hard drive size, making them simply 'speed bump' changes. The low-end model will be boosted from 700MHz to 800MHz and the mid-range and high-end models will go from 800MHz to 900MHz.

ThinkSecret provides a detailed chart of specs for the rumored iBook upgrades.

MacRumors' Buyer's Guide shows that the iBook was last updated on November 6th, 2002 -- 152 days ago as of this writing. Based on Apple's history of upgrade intervals, it also appears that the iBooks are soon due for a revision.
