There have been no rumors or announcements of anything to do with upgrades to the iBooks since their last update

:eek:neye: so what do you guys suggest? Should I wait or no? The last iBook upgrade was on October 19, 2004. The macrumours buyers guide says that it is approaching the end of a cycle and the upgrade should be soon. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/

Let me know if you have any additional information. Thanks guys

I'd just get it, i just bought a new iMac G5 but there were rumors about an upgrade on that but from various sources its highly unlikely it will receive a boost. Same goes with the iBook. I'd just get it now and have your fun! But just remember, anything can happen...

edit--- ohhh and sorry for your loss, just take it as a learning experience. KEEP EVERYTHING OUT OF VIEW in your car. Don't leave anything on the seats. My friend got his Sony VAIO stolen from his BMW! Of all cars... He was a mess, not only did his auto insurance drop him but he couldn't even get the insurance money for his laptop claim. But he kinda deserved it because he left his VAIO on the passenger seat in plain view. It happened at around 430PM in daylight so... the feral beings used a brick wrapped in tinfoil to bust out the window. The alarm didn't do much good cause no one saw nothing.

Unless you really need that extra speed boost, just get it now..there's really nothing they can change unless they changed the Powerbooks too and they just upgraded them..as for the design of it..what could they really do to it..it's the signature white and unless there going to debut a "triangle" shaped laptop it'll still be square :black:

Actually they might change quite a few things in addition to the speed bump. I think they will add the new scroll trackpad and the backlit keyboard to the new ibooks. Also, hopefully they might even include the motion sensor for the hard drive that is included in the new powerbooks. Of course I am not sure of this but if the next upgrade is going to be in April sometime, I think I can wait till then. Thank you for your condolonces everyone. :eek:neye:
