I'm quite certian a G5 laptop will be out. Now that OSX Tiger is going to be 64 bit looks like apple is going that route!

Nah - not too soon. The 7447A has still some potential (the G4 Altivec is said to perform quite better that the G5 Altivec counterpart). Sure a 2+Ghz G5 mobile beast would be impressive but the faster G5s consume a lot of current. And a , say, 1.8 ghz G5 has not that big advantage over an G4 1.5 Ghz (exept from Marketing hype).
My guess: we will see a mobile g5 in spring 2005 but not in 2004. And the 64 bit extensions within the Tiger, well aren't they tangend more to the server business and do not matter too much for the every day use (but I am not an expert in Apple things, I like to eat them (oh, what a bad joke...!) and like to play around with my girlfriends iBook from time 2 time).

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
