Ditto. Only one I've ever seen was at Costco. Everywhere I look is apple iPods (and all the variations, too).

Wait...they're identical...how would you know if you'd seen one?

Another possibility: Since Costco is selling them, and they are pretty accommodating, bring it back to them and ask if they would exchange it for you?

Costco guy: HP iPod. Take it back to them and demand you get another one or a complete refund. A product 8 months old should not break, and if the MFR stops making them that soon…

Personally speaking, I don't expect any Powerbook updates until they go Intel next year. I think the transition in architectures trumps the usual update schedule. Even if they do …

Somebody else started this same topic today under a different title, but I'll paste my reply here since I don't think there's a hope in hell that there will ever be a PowerBook G5.…

Hi, I too was in the market for a PB 15 and was going to wait till Paris just to see what happened. I think dreams of a G5 PB will be just that - dreams. For me, I need portabil…
