I can't wait to get my hands on one. It will certainly look sweet with one of the Army Bose ANR headsets hooked up to it...
By the way, we're (Army) using iPods to train soldiers to go into combat in Iraq (can't say anything more on the list).

We did the opposite.
We placed an order for a 17" PB directly after the keynote.
-We can't wait until February.
-We don't want to guess if all of our stuff is going to work on a MacTel for a production machine. That's what the reviewers or a demo machine is for.
-I think this may be the last production run of G4s and G5s, so once they're gone they're gone.
-We don't need the speed increase for this particular use that makes a Core Duo attractive.
I'm looking forward to the reviewers to see if they can get another OS working on it; I'm looking forward to Codeweavers getting Darwine working on it.
Essentially, until Adobe announces for this machine, it's a curiosity; one step above prototype. I hope we can get one to test our applications on it, but until then we're not going to put them into production. Apple was smart to keep the G4 option around, until we get a least 1 rev beyond this, we have a chance to see how we're going to support the new CPU, and a few more major software vendors have their apps native.
