Jobs on PowerBook G5, consolidation of PC industry
September 21, 2003 - 14:41 EDT An article on the Spanish Web site 5Dias and an interview in the German publication F.A.Z. offer a few interesting tidbits from Apple CEO Steve Jobs. According to 5Dias, Jobs reportedly said last week that Apple is currently working on a PowerBook G5 and hopes to introduce it "by the end of next year." In the interview with F.A.Z., Jobs said he expects that the computer industry will continue to consolidate, while others will disappear completely from the market. In particular, he said (according to the BableFish translator) "the future position of gateway is very uncertain" and he imagines Sony to withdraw itself completely from the PC business.

My Comments: Very very awesome! I just might have to wait until then

hmm predicting the downfall of others is never any good. Though it would be cool if apple and sony teamed up, they are already talking through sonyericson...

Sony is a huge company, they'll probably just leave the computer industry because there is no real money in hardware anyways.

Most of my family has worked at Sony and all except one still works there due to layoffs.. and even he is scared for his job now.. They are not doing good and they are still trying to figure out what they can do to start making money again.
