New PowerBooks and PowerMacs on Oct 19?
According to MacCentral Apple is having another media event on October the 19th (next Wednesday). The invitation asks to join them as “we unveil Apple’s latest pro innovations.” This is Apple's third press event in five weeks.
Conventional wisdom indicates that new dual or quad-core PowerMacs and Speed-bumped PowerBook G4s (both "pro" products) will be announced.
The new PowerBooks should ship with the Freescale MPC7448 processor which has double the level 2 backside cache (1MB) of the 7447A chip (512k) found in current PowerBooks. PowerBooks could weigh in at 1.7 - 2.0GHz and will probably also pick up Dual-layer Superdrives. High-Def displays are a toss up...
I'm still pulling for the PowerBook nano.

I'm sure Apple are working on a new enclosure for the PB, but it's not likely to show up until there's a Pentium under the hood. Mar - Jun '06 probably.
I'll be happy if the last PPC PBs have 1.7-1.8GHz 7448 processors in the current enclosures with better battery life, DDR2 memory, DS DVD burners across the board and more pixels onscreen. Another 0.5-1GB RAM expansion would be nice too along with a decent price cut on the new models.
