January would be optimistic, altho possible. but i'm betting on WWDC 2005 introduction and September shipment.

sounds good to me, i wouldnt expect anything until the next year. Most likely around WWDC. Hopefully sooner. I just hope they have a nice battery life.

My guess is sometime in the future

Seriously trying to guess new product releases from apple is like trying to nail jello to a tree.

With an all-new iMac line coming in September (and shipping who knows when), I would think Apple would hold back on PB G5s (even if they're ready) as not to cannibalize iMac sales. And also to make sure supply can meet demand.

I am curious about the new Imacs. I love my PB, never thought of buying an iMac. A G5 processor would be adequate enough for me, but the powermac line is more than I need.
Anyways, i think the G5 PB will be out in January.
