Mmk, thought I'd just start a thread for people to give their guesses for when the new iBooks/whatever the heck they're going to be called are coming out. So guesses for that. :)
Oh, any hardware predictions can be included to if one wishes.

I buy games for both. Some games I know I am going to love the multiplayer, and will still play through the single player once in a while. Other games I buy for single player only. Usually games that are one player only.

By the way, the Sony is supposedly available in Japan now. I own a Sony and a Apple...and have no problem liking both.
I do realise that the VAIO is thicker than the TiBook, but still the point is that the drive has been shruck now to a size where it can fit into any notebook, it's just a matter of time (or technology) until they have it small enough to fit into the TiBook, and my bet is they allready can do this, it's just when they decide to release it....and in my book a 1Ghz Ti w/ SuperDrive would make an ideal launchpad.

>(1984) but what do i know... im just a kid
Yeah, well, so are most of us when guessing what Apple's new sh** will have inside, meaning, specs.
I'm guessing no 19 inch iMac until 2004 minimum. I think if Apple releases a 19 inch iMac right now, it may kill PowerMac sales, as Inhale vaguely pointed out. Not only that, but I think Apple would increase the screen size of their Powerbooks to 16.x inches and their iBook to 14.x inches. And even though the LCD prices have been going down, especially for plasma screens, I think it would be best to wait so that everyone can afford bigger screens.
Apple won't just go out of their way to announce "Well, we've made a bigger screen iMac at the request of those who don't like/can't afford PowerMacs." C'mon. If need be, get an older/cheap PowerMac and get a 19 inch from elsewhere for about $700 or $900.

I also, i could see them going with "fake" ddr, a-la xserve, but then again, that may not be true, or only be reserved for a high end model. i do not see bluetooth, as it is really still a cool, but useless protocol. i do see a matte case, though, maybe with a smooth plastic around the screen, like in the iMac. Also, i could see them going with a g4 MAYBE, even though that my drive up the price. That would leave the g3, with it's many legs to stand on, to run as an eBook(?) model, looking and optioned like a current iBook.

That is, Dual 50Mhz.:eek:
Seriously, these rumors are almost bad as the Dual 1.6 Ghz powermacs. Although I have never sat down and used one, I have heard that the TiBook has some major heat issues. Putting a dual processor in it would only make the problem worse.
On the other hand, Apple is an amazing company and anything is possible.
On the third hand, that superdrive looks to be a perfect addition to the next round of PowerBooks.:cool:

Of course. Windows XP-64bit is already running on Hammer.
In addition, are these companies looking to produce Desktops with this technology, or more primarily focusing on server use.
There are two verisons of the Hammer. One for servers, the Opteron. One for desktops (aka 8th Generation Athlon [886]; Athlon was 786), which uses Hammer technologies.
Do these manufactures even have incentives to upgrade to 64-bit technology when they have 3+ Ghz intels, and AMDs? For all lmarketing purposes, they would be downgrading (1.8 ghz (64) compared to 3+ ghz (32)).
Why of course they do have incentives. One, 64bit sounds good. Two, faster. I'm not sure what you're smoking about 1.8GHz thing (I dunno the exact starting speed, but I do know it's supposed to be rated at "3400+", so perhaps it's indeed 1.8GHz, but labelled 3400+. Don't assume because PPC970 is coming with 1.6 to 1.8GHz that Opterons have to be the same; but feel free to correct me wrong and I'll admit to 1.8GHz).
I wouldn't count Apple out on this one -- them being first and doing it well. I would say they have incentives to integrate this 64-bit tech for the pro side -- the side of their product line that might be hurting. How do we know that Apple hasn't been colaborating with IBM and configuring OS X Panther (or whatever) to run spanking fast with the new chips? And have PowerMacs already working at headquarters?
I wouldn't count them out for being one of the first. I'm sure Apple has been colloborating with IBM. I didn't state that they weren't.
The unique thing about Apple is that in order for this 64-bit thing to take hold, it needs to colaborate with two people: itself and IBM.
With other manufactures, they have to colaborate with: themselves, Microsoft, and the Chip maker.
Well gee, they've been doing that for a long time. So what?
Maybe Apple can be first?
As stated, AMD is coming out with Hammer much earlier than IBM's PowerPC 970. I know Apple isn't in direct competition with AMD, but the PC manufacturers USE AMD processors.

I ordered mine the day after the hardware was announced and yesterday I was told by my online retailer that they would start shipping the first or second week in Oct. after a delay was announced by Apple. I dream of the man/woman in brown knocking at the door.

Okay, by now you should realize that things between the PC world and the Mac world aren't so black and white now.
XP & 2k are much more crash proof than 9x, have become more user-friendly and have become a better value than the Mac in some ways.
The major issue right now betwen PCs and Macs isn't any of those however, it's raw speed.
With Intel approaching 3Ghz by November, the fastest Mac at 1.25Ghz (duals or not) is just not loking very speedy by comparison.
Granted, they're not THAT slow, but they're far from where they could be.
There was a time when the Mhz myth was valid, then CPUs started to hit Ghz, then twice that, now at 3Ghz.
If I'm shopping for a speedy computer right now, what looks fastest, a dual 1.25Ghz G4 or a single 3Ghz PIV?
Even Photoshop, long favored on the Mac platform is going to render faster on a top of the line PC.
Now, don't get me wrong, there are a lot of reasons to choose a Mac over a PC at the moment, but speed is not one of them.
My question to you is, whose fault is it that we have this problem?
Is it Apple's for not pushing Moto to make faster chips?
Is it Moto for not giving any intrest in making faster chips?
Is it Intel, for making consumers think that Mhz is a valid measure for performanance?
Could Apple have threatened Moto with moving over to IBM chips much earler to get them to crank out some killer chips, or does Moto not care too much about selling chips to Apple because they make more money in the embedded chip market?
Could Intel have resorted to a better marketing move than cranking up the Mhz every chance it got?
You decide.
Sticking the blame on someone and complaining about what should have been done isn't going to do much now, but in the future we can hopefully use this knowledge to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

you can only defrag and make password protected volumes on mac formatted ipods.. i have mine windows formatted so that i can use it for file transfers... oh well, send to trash...

Is that not stated anywhere on the download screens??
