From MacBidouille (oui oui monsoir!):

We have just been informed that PowerBooks as well as eMac Superdrive have been declared “End of Life” at the FNAC (largest multimedia consumer shop in France).
This means that once machines in stock have been sold; there will not be any new shipment for the same ordering number.
PS: this is not a rumor, simply a fact. We let you draw your own conclusions.

and from The Register:

Expect Apple to ship PowerBook and iBook notebook Macs based on a G5-class PowerPC chip in Q2.

So claim sources close to Taiwan’s contract manufacturers, DigiTimes reports. Tucked away in a discussion about Apple’s manufacturing partners are references to an iBook G5 and a PowerBook G5, which will ship in Q2 2005. They will be built by Asustek and Quanta, respectively.

I love rumours. Even when they make my new 1.5Ghz PowerBook that little bit more redundant.

Hmmm, I guess a pic of the laptop is warranted.

In other Apple news, the iPod shuffle has already sold out in the US, with 2-4 week delays on orders just one week after they were announced. Expect Australian stock to be delayed just like the iPod minis were.
