The earliest I read was mid 2006 and 2007 for the powermacs. true the powerbooks and ibooks both will go through major changes but the question is when. this post is to advise people on the upcoming changes not next years changes. ibooks just got updated so they wont be changing anything next month while the powerbook hasnt been updated since january. so its a good time to buy an ibook and a bad time to buy a powerbook. where did you get your info from?

Otherwise wait until december when the intel computers come out. The laptops..both iBook and PowerBook are due for major updates. The whole idea of moving to intel was to use the M-chip technology. The iPod Mini in COLOR this december...For sure! Go to any apple store and it's the ODD one out. All other iPods are in color now. Truly, Misguided Dear Mark,

The iPod Shuffle is clearly NOT a buy now recommendation. Buy now means it just got updated but in the shuffles case it hasnt been updated since its release. The regular iPod just got updated last month with a colored screen so its very doubtful it will be changed next month. The iPod mini I didn't list because I don't have the exact date of its last update. I know it got updated this year but don't know the exact date. They could be adding colored screens to the minis next month but I don't know. I wont revise the list.

The iPod Shuffle is clearly a Buy Now recommendation. The iPod Mini and regular iPod are less clear. We may have to split these releases to get a clearer picture. revise your list.
