iBook update soon?

New video card, without a doubt ! One of the main drawbacks of the ibooks with the arrival of tiger is its inability to suport tigers eye candy... Processor speed probably wont change much, as for ram, 512 in base specs should be a must . As for the cover, and this is my preference is that they should stay with the polycarbonate cover. although provide alternative colors would be nice. i'm waiting for that update to come to buy my ibook, hope it comes before september.

My guess for the 12" ibook -1.33 Ghz G4 -HD 40 GB -Radeon 9200 64 MB DDR -512 MB RAM But this puts it a bit too close to the Powerbook, so either they update the Powerbooks as well, or they do not update so much of the Ibook. Another thing: Aluminum cover? That would be great!

a 12" with a super drive would be awesome. How come 12" Powerbooks can have superdrives, but 12" iBooks can't? Wtf?

12" with Superdrive

I'd love to see an intel processor. Not that I'm particularly pleased about the change, owning a G5 iMac, but it seems like everyone except for the developers of a few apps is ready for them to come out now, rather than in a year. And what better incentive for the few app developers who aren't in any hurry?

What would I LIKE to see? I'd like to see a 20" widescreen display, a 2.5ghz dual-core G5 and four gigs of RAM, standard. For $999. Oh, and it has to be .5" thick, have a Blu-Ray burner and be personally delivered by Steve Jobs. ;) What do I EXPECT to see? Speed bump? Youbetcha. I'd expect new speeds to be 1.33ghz and 1.42ghz. Wide screens? That would be lovely but potentially too expensive for a consumer machine. New form factor? Possibly. Consider: Apple has been selling these little white iBooks for something like four years now. I'd say it was due for an update. But how much can they do with it? Widescreen? Possibly, but that may make the iBook too expensive. It's a consumer-level machine, after all. But if they're already doing a redesign, they may go ahead and add a widescreen to the high-end model. So, what else? A newer video card? I wouldn't be surprised to see them up the video RAM to 64mb for Tiger's new and "improved" video, even if they don't give it a new card. A PC card slot? Don't hold your breath. That's probably going to remain a PowerBook feature. I can't see Apple pushing the iBook too far because they'll want to keep it affordable and distinct from the PowerBook line. Whatever they do with it, I'm sure I'll wish I'd waited until this summer to buy an iBook. ;)

At last I have been waiting for this since befor WWDC. Fingers crossed. Personally I think they should make a whole colour range like the iPod mini. As it is the min of the powerbook.

CDs are simply too small in capacity-- I think ALL of the new iBooks need to have DVD burning capability as an option. SuperDrives for everyone!

PC Card? I doubt the iBook target market is looking for that sort of functionality. I'd rather see that space used for more FW/USB2 ports. Wishlist? A dock with monitor, FW, USB and power ports.

I'd like a G5 processor! ... but I guess that ship has sailed, eh?
