Question regarding to 12 inch of PowerBook G4 and iBook - weed only please

hi master weed,
This question is kinda like a follow up of one of my previous question "When is the best time to purchase a 12-inch PowerBook G4?" https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20762293/When-is-the-best-time-to-purchase-a-12-inch-PowerBook-G4.html 

Yeah, as u've already known by now that apple has revised their iBooks product line....it really makes no difference between PowerBook G4(12inch) and iBook G4(12inch), when price difference is taken into consideration for the sake of difference in memory bandwidth, cache etc.

So, what does this indicate? does that mean PowerBook G5 is on its way or?  Also, what do you think about iBooks upgrade?

thank you

hi master weed and speyfisher,
Thank you guys for those informations!
As master weed has mentioned that this upgraded iBook is "Very tempting".  Can you guys help me to make decision?
thank you

i'm impressed with the ibook family considering the price which is an important factor.  however-  i use a 12" and 17" powerbook for sales presentations where true external monitor support, wireless networking, and powerful video capabilities are important (and of course the inherent ego factor).  

i suggest a gut-check - are the powerbook's additional features, design, speed going to be put to real use and is it worth the premium price?
