I'm not familiar with how the WWDC process goes, so my question is are there still more announcements as the week goes on? I was hoping for the possibility of a slight bump in the iBooks or Powerbooks. But do all the cool announcements only come from Jobs' keynote? Or will we be seeing some other things throughout the week?

OK, I'm an a$$hole. Sorry, there will be no new stuff at WWDC.

At this point I'd venture PBs are the first to get 86'd. (that doesn't sound right)

Expect minor speed bumps, but the G4 PBs are a dead end. 1.8, tops ever.

yea, I was hoping to see the new freescale chips announced in the PB line, but at this point I'm not too sure we'll see many, if any, updates to either line until the fall.

The cost involved with implementing a new line of PB isn't worth the low sales they will most likely have.

I personally am let down, as I have to buy a PB soon anyhow, and now I'll just be buying the current model.

i may scour ebay and these forums however, as I'm sure we'll see some users abandon ship and sell their gear while it's still worth something in their eyes.
