are they releasing G5 powerbooks anytime soon? b/c i would hate to buy a G4, and they release a G5 within a couple of months.
HA! great question,I totally understand.Um I woud'nt hold my breath however.Check out www.macrumors.com those guys are hardcore mac junkies,if you search the site you will see that people have been having this same discussion for over a year.I was so convinced the g5 powerbook was coming I waited to buy mine for a couple of months,and that was a waist of time.Good luck!!
there's rumors of a possible hardware announcement at NAB along with all the software announcements, but i would bet it'll be more along the lines of a tower update instead of the books... but we can always hope...
aaron, look in the timeframe of the first part of june during apple's wwdc conference for them to make an announcement w/ shipment probably toward the end of summer.

It's my experience that if you don't buy in case a product becomes superseded then you will probably never buy anything. However if I go & buy something you can bet that a newer & cheaper model is sure to hit the market within a few months !!
