Exactly, and they, alone or at least together with iBooks, have surpassed the Mac mini, I think.

Even the fastest PowerBook wouldn't have been that much of a performance upgrade over the 1.5 GHz Mac mini. And for my mobile needs, a laptop/notebook is still too bulky. I have a tablet computer for this, unfortunately not with MorphOS, of course. Fun fact is that the PowerMac G5 is even older than the Mac mini, and its reliability shows (severe soft boot problems).
I am currently having lockup issues with my Quad G5 myself and have ordered the parts to rebuild the cooling system. I think one of my processors is freezing.
The reliability issues with G5 are just another reason I want an X5000/40.
