According to their research, they expect Apple to release new Dual-Core PowerMacs in August. This would correlate with Apple pushing WWDC back to August this year.
Meanwhile, Citi also expects Intel iBooks "as early as April" along with a new Video iPod in April.
There are expectations that Apple will hold another Media event around their 30th anniversary on April 1, 2006.
