PDA's are not the answer, they are old!!! An Apple PDA/Phone like a Apple version of the Sony Ericsson P900. Great Features aswell as the beautiful looks of an Apple!!

I would have to disagree with you on that one. I'd say chances are pretty good of Apple releasing a G5 powerbook in 2004. I'd say around the summer....

considering apple had to delay the release of the G5 desktops its obvious that this processor was't sitting on the shelf just ready to be put onto the market. It will take much more than 10 months for the development team to manage somehow to get the extremely hot and large G5 chips into the powerbooks

trpnmonkey41 is trippin :p

Didn't Steve Jobs say that they were going to be releasing the G5 Powerbook in Mid 2004 at a convention?

I should rephrase that, he said that they were "aiming" for Mid 2004.

In a wide-ranging interview with ComputerWorld, David Russell director of product marketing for portables and wireless at Apple made some comments about the feasibility of a PowerBook G5.


"We certainly want to do that. But it's going to be a while. We think the G4 has a very long life in the PowerBook", according to Russell

I think it does have a long life in the powerbook cause you know that the G5 books are gonna be flippin expensive. Not everyone needs a 64 bit processor in their laptop. Even though I really really WANT one. :-D

Enable iPod to work over USB to iMac so I don't have to buy a new
iMac with firewire and I don't have to load up the iPod on my PC at work,
making the other fellas jealous.
