'Kin annoying rumour that one. I just ordered a new iMac but am hoping the Intel iMac rev a comes out in 2007 just to make me feel better. "WWDC 2005, SAN FRANCISCO—June 6, 200…

Latest rumor is new iBooks in January and that the entire transition will be done by the end of 2006. Since I don't think I want the last PPC or the first Intel, I think I'm hangi…

I doubt the transition will be finished in 2006. Have you not seen the keynote that discussed this? Jobs explicitly stated that the transition would not be complete until 2007.

My guess is that the laptops will be the first Intel machines, and Jobs wants them to make a big impact in the market. If I could be allowed to play the predictions game for a mome…

CaptianHaddock, I think only single core Yonahs will make it into iBooks. The dual cores will be reserved for the PowerBook line. That will be the differentiator.

mduell, do you really think a single-core 1.4GHz Yonah is going to be much better than what the iBooks currently have? You may well be right, but I have trouble seeing Apple actual…

Intel as a BTO option would be awesome, the cheap intel or 200$ extra for the G5. it would satisfy everybody. I'm buying a G5 iMac this year cos the transition is going to take at …
