I remember just before the G4 PBs were released that there were a lot of people who were saying that the G4 would never be cool enough to put in a laptop, and that we'd have to wait for some derivative of the G3 for the next generation of the PowerBooks. Then, a couple years after the release of the G4 towers, the G4 PBs were released.
Welcome to the growing trend of Apple user know-it-alls. It appears that everyone who visits Macrumors has the inside scoop as to what is happening at Apple. We see this time and again. We saw it when the iPod Photo came out. How many said it would NEVER happen. We saw this when the shuffle came out. How many more said that would never happen. Now for the last two years we've been hearing the same crap from people about the G5. Its too hot! Its two hot. Maybe two years ago it was. Anyone want to bet if it still is? Every year its "There is no way we are going to see it this year. Wait until WWDC next year." We its been two years and here we are again. Same people. It won't happen until 2006. You are right. Something has to give. Apple knows they are pretty much screwed when it comes to sales. Esp now that dual core Pentium M's are prob just short of a year away. Apple can't have been spending all this time on their indoor putt-putt golf course dicking around. They must be doing something in their R&D other then whipping up Mac Mini's and iPod Shuffles because lets get real here for a second. That is pretty much ALL that's been introed in the last 2 years. Unless you call a water cooled G5 some massive leap in forward momentum which I sure as heck don't. Apple's got something out there. Wait.
