IBM Preps for Apple Announcements
In the wake of the leaked specs, The Mercury News reports on further signs of IBM/Apple announcements on monday:
IBM has scheduled analyst briefings on the chip to begin after Apple Chairman and Chief Executive Steve Jobs gives his keynote address. A group of IBM engineers has come to Apple's Cupertino headquarters for last-minute preparations.
