The news about the 970 has been "odd" lots of stuff about it, but when the fluffly feel good rumors have been boiled away -- there really hasn't been any rumor of depth about the darn thing, just the news IBM dropped...
People say the 970 is going to be in "everything"...
Then there comes a rumor of a new G4 cube and/or monitorless low-end machine.
People say they looked at the new 970 machine, benchmarked it, and looked at the block diagram. Yet they report on the ports instead, nothing of any real meaning.
The 970 are in production, sitting in warehouses, etc. Yet no machines weeks and months later.

More real news coming from Motorola, which is really odd -- and we all missed it because everyone has been focused on the 970.
