A new iBook version may come out, I doubt a new Powerbook, the PB line was updated just a couple months ago, but iBooks are due for an update.

The new version of Golive, Golive CS2 is awesome. It blows both the old version, dreamweaver, and frontpage out of the water. I highly recomend trying the 30 day trial off the Adobe website.

I'd have to learn the coding...

I'll just stick around till the KeyNote next month and hope for the best.

If theres price drops in the 15" PowerBook then that'll be great. As for the iBook, I'm hoping for an updated graphics card and atleast 64MB of Video RAM.

Maybe a new design? I heard from someone here that iBooks are updated once every two years either in April or June, so I'll just wait it out. Whats this about dual G5's in iBooks? LOL 128-Bit Architecture, that would be so kickass :)

Errrr....I dont really mean to burst anyones bubble here, and I know I am by far not the most expirenced mac user, but there is no way G5s would come out for iBooks any time that soon. G5s are rather large, far too large for a slim laptop. Plus, the PowerMacs and iMacs are not at G6 yet. I remeber hearing that the PowerBooks will get G5s long before the iBook. Correct me if I am wrong, but the 'Books may never get G5s, just a new mobile G4 chip. Also, I am pretty sure that the iBooks get updated more like 2x a year. The last iBook upgrade was something like 200 days ago.

i really doubt that the ibooks video card is going to be moved up to 64vram. that is a major reason that people go to the powerbook over the ibook.
