There have been a number of rumors concerning ibook updates in the past few weeks.
I was wondering what people thought might be in the next update...G3 or G4? When will it happen?
It has been said that the G3 has a lot of life left...you have to wonder if that means that the present model of the ibook will be around for a while, or that the next one or two updates will include a faster G3. Does the ibook really need a G4 yet?
Here's what I think...If the form factor is updated to include a new 13" panel then they might drop in a G4 (you never know). It would be the time to do it and we are looking at January for the update. If the present form factor sticks around then they'll probably bump the processor to 800 or 900 MHZ (Depends on the next Powerbook upgrade) and a 32 MB video card. Maybe these specs some time in the next 2 months.
